 ChromaFlair at AllExperts
ChromaFlair is the registered trademark for a pigment created by JDS Uniphase Flex Products Group in Santa Rosa, California.
It is used in paint systems, for example those of Du Pont and PPG, and when the paint is applied, it changes colour depending on the light source and viewing angle.
Interestingly, ChromaFlair paints contain no conventional absorbing pigments, rather it is a "light interference pigment": the colour we observe is created entirely by the refractive properties of the flakes (analogous to how we perceive rainbow colours in oil slicks).

 Bowler's Dream   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The flip-flop color phenomenon seen in these light-interference pigments is caused by the presence of incredibly thin, micro-layered structures that reflect different wavelengths of visible light depending on the angle at which they are viewed, and their position relative to the light source.
ChromaFlair pigment is neither mica nor an aluminum flake.
ChromaFlair’s multi-layer construction is composed of pigment flakes approximately 1 micron thick.

  DuPont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
DuPont has evolved into the world's second largest chemical company (first is Dow Chemical Company), and in the twentieth century led the polymer revolution by developing many highly successful materials such as Vespel, neoprene, nylon, Corian, Lucite, Teflon, Mylar, Kevlar, M5 fiber, Nomex, and Tyvek.
DuPont has also been significantly involved in the refrigerant industry, developing and producing the Freon (CFCs) series and later, more environmentally-friendly refrigerants, and the color industry, creating synthetic pigments and paints like ChromaFlair.
The company often gives trademark names to its material products, many of which have become more well-known and commonly used than the generic or chemical word for the material itself.

ChromaFlair® is highly effective for painting and printing of all products for which the color effect is important, including automobiles, electrical products, sporting goods, and interior design products.
This pigment is made with a multi-layer flake structure whose surface has a mirror-like reflectivity, where the multi-layer structure causes interference effects with the wavelengths of the light, producing colors.
We call this coloration technology "color by physics." Unlike other special pigments, the unique structure of ChromaFlair® provides bright hues (saturation) and variegated colors depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Perhaps even more amazing than the elusively shifting colors, though, is that the materials used in the ChromaFlair pigments that give these paint lines their magic are completely colorless.
One of the nice things about this paint is that, because the ChromaFlair pigment contains no organic materials, their color effect won’t fade over time.
Should spot repainting be necessary due to bodywork, color matching is easy, since there’s no variation in the eight basic types of flakes.
