Product detailed description
Daikoku Ultrashift. A radical colour change from the automotive scene.
Daikoku Ultrashift is a fascinating pigment with shifting tones of violet, blue and purple that gives every project a mystical depth. Thanks to the ultrashift effect, the colours change depending on light and angle, creating an inimitable effect ideal for demanding artists and creative makers. This pigment is an excellent choice for a wide range of DIY projects, including epoxy resin, acrylic paintings and jewellery making.
One part, two viewing angles.
No photo editing — the photo itself alternates two views of the same painted part. A radical colour change from the automotive scene. You get the richest shift on a dark base, in epoxy and in lacquer. Hover to pause the transition.

Frequently asked questions
How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
From our hands-on practice: 0.5–1 g per kg of mix for a translucent effect (river, sea water), ~3 g/kg for full colour, 5 g/kg for opaque coverage. Always mix it into a small amount of resin first, then into the rest.
Will the pigment sink in a deep pour?
Daikoku Ultrashift has 5-25 μm particles that stay evenly dispersed in the mix. Only coarse pigments with 200–700 μm particles (e.g. flakes) can sink — letting the resin thicken slightly or stirring the mix during the process helps.
Which resin is it suitable for?
Any epoxy resin. For crystal-clear castings in which the pearl stands out, we recommend the systems DIPON LuminaCast — Ocean Flow for river tables, Gem Flow for jewellery.
On which background does the effect stand out most?
On a dark one. The manufacturer recommends applying chameleon pigments over a black or dark base — the colour shift is then at its richest; on a light background the effect is softer. This applies to epoxy and paint alike.
What is the difference between Colorshift and Ultrashift?
Colorshift elegantly flips between two tones depending on the angle of light. Ultrashift — originally from the automotive scene — changes colour radically: one piece looks like two completely different colours from different angles.
