Been a while… did any of the rumoured nano-shifting colors ever make it into the game? Any idea where I could find some info on these? ---

They’ve been in the game for a year now…Mostly found in the market now as they were mostly with events. ---

Are they called something new? (just wondering how they’re listed) Thanks in-advance. ---

No unfortunately, off the top of my head I remember one had the word seafoam. I’m not to big into skinr myself I mostly just dabble. ---

That’s still helpful - thanks. ---

You can recognize them by their icon. It usually has two colors depicted on it fading in and out of one another (as opposed to clearly just one color for non-shifting coats). If I can bother to log into the game one of the coming days, I’ll post an example. Unfortunately their names are completely useless, albeit in some cases poetic. ---

Ah. I think I know which ones you might be referring to (unless there’s a special icon in SKINR). ---

I finally logged on today. Took some screenshots for you: ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.09](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/3/e/d3e6ba7e7b7d43e67953615ecff91565fabde890.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.13](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/6/2/4626db4cb1360fe01419dfb0db88eb0729b91b25.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.18](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/3/e/33e8ae09170b4add99de3efdd4698295ebd33d4a.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.23](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/4/7/447c9482266210254f1f07660f0e05451f954fc3.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.27](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/e/3/be305eb05bfa3b24f14970bd2b1874b7418f4d8a.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.31](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/5/d/45da70350e64221662986ad4495ef0119b8b9ae1.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.43.35](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/7/f/37fff89b787cd870580d1948f31f3a8597871be4.png) As you can see all of these have dual coloring on the icon. Those are the color shift ones. An example of what one looks like on the hull: ![Screenshot 2026-05-07 at 20.42.31](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/e/0/de01c5d1176af8c64e664a935bd4cbd4fe66b270.jpeg) ---

> [@Arthur\_Aihaken](#): > > nano-shifting colors Just a note: I think it’s wrong to call these SKINR color-shifting. Technically they don’t actually shift color at all. How this effect is achieved, is that the base texture is one solid color. Then that has a reflective coating on it (reflectiveness can be a value anywhere between 1-99%). And the light that is shone on that texture – that light has a different color. And as the texture has a reflective coat on it, the end result is that it ends up reflecting that different-colored light. For example blue light reflected off a brown-colored texture. So it looks like colors shift, when in reality they don’t. But you do get two colors on the same texture that way. I’m an architect, we have pretty much the same things when we render images. Also – I know you didn’t come up with the term, so it’s not directed at you that it’s wrong to call them color-shifting. Just a general observation. I’m a stickler for being technically correct. ---

Yeah, it’s been over a year since these were discussed so I’m probably using the wrong terminology… ---
