Iridescent Pearls

Iridescent pearls are often used in automotive finishes, as well as in industrial coatings, decorative paints, and even in the cosmetics industry. When used in automotive finishes, interference pearls can create a striking and dramatic effect that is especially popular in custom car and motorcycle painting. In the cosmetics industry, interference pearls can be used in products such as eyeshadows, nail polishes, and lip glosses to create a unique and eye-catching effect.
Iridescent pearls are available in a range of colours and particle sizes, including blue, green, purple, gold, and more. They can be used on their own or combined with other pigments and colourants to create custom shades and effects and can provide a vivid pearl colour over black or a very subtle effect if used sparingly, and an iridescent reflection over other colours such as white.

Iridescent Pearl Pigments are available in a variety of colours and in 3 main particle sizes:
Satin Pearls / Ghost Pearls 5-25 micron: This is our finest particle size and is the traditional pearl finish you see on everything from cars, plastics in the home and in cosmetics/makeup – it offers a very fine colour shift when viewed at certain angles and will totally disappear at others showing whatever base colour used.
Shimmer Pearls 10-60 microns: Shimmer Pearls offer the middle ground of the 3 pearls giving more sparkle than our Satin pearls whilst still giving a nice colour shift at certain viewing angles and will again totally disappear at others.
Sparkle Pearls 10-100 microns: Sparkle Pearls like the name suggests offer the brightest and have the most sparkle of the 3 pearl pigments giving a pearl glitter like effect.
