It's more of a physical effect than a chemical one. The pigment is what makes the toys (or anything else you make with it) color shifting. They start by creating extremely small - 5 micrometers is average - silicon dioxide granules. These granules are coated with metal oxides in various colors to create the color-shift capability.

The paint used in color shifting toys typically contains special pigments called interference pigments or pearlescent pigments. These pigments are made from a combination of mica flakes coated with layers of metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide or iron oxide. The thickness of these layers determines the color the pigments reflect, resulting in the color shifting effect when viewed from different angles.

Why is white light considered as the composition of all colors?

It's not "considered"...it IS the composition of all colors! Light works differently than paint. When you add more and more colors of paint together, you get black paint. When you add more and more colors of light, you get what we call "white" light. It's also referred to as color addition.


Is drying of paint a chemical or a physical change?

This depends on the type of paint. In oil paint there is a physical change as volatile substances evaporate - and a chemical change as the paint hardens. In water-based paint (latex based) the paint loses water and so that part is a physical change - from wet to dry. But it also polymerizes (hardening, irreversible) which is chemical. Only washable paint is physically drying by evaporation (reversible, otherwise it wouldn't be 'washable').


What are the chemical and physical property of paint?
