A pigment or dye that can display different colors under different conditions, such as varying pH levels or light wavelengths.
From Greek 'amphi' (both) + 'chroma' (color). Similar to amphichrom, this noun form refers to the actual pigment or coloring agent with dual or multiple color properties.
Amphichromes are how artists and chemists create mood-changing art installations and smart textiles — fabrics and paints that shift colors based on temperature or light! This technology is becoming popular in fashion and interior design.
