Color-changing helmets look different than regular helmets. This is because of the pigments that cause the colors to change. Instead of having one solid color, they have a special flickering, bright, and angular effect. Helmets and goggles frequently use symphony dynamic (iridescent) aluminum-silver paste. It changes color based on the viewing angle. This optical pigment produces a heterochromatic color-changing effect. Iridescent ink and paint created with this paste can display different colors depending on the angle of observation. This effect is very dynamic and can create a bright “rainbow phenomenon” under direct sunlight.
Of course, in addition to symphony dynamic (iridescent) aluminum-silver paste, the chameleon pearlescent pigment series is often used to create stylish and individualized helmets. Chameleon pigment uses a new type of coating that creates different colors from different angles. It’s an optical pigment created by the way light moves through different materials on the same surface, resulting in a range of colors depending on the angle of incoming light. When used on helmets, it creates a variety of vibrant color effects.
