Chromalusion is a duPont product that contains a bunch of tiny 
multifaceted "mirror" flakes which, depending on the angle of light 
and viewing, will change color.   It's a basecoat paint which is a 
single-pass coating unlike candy or metalflake colors etc.   It uses 
a clearcoat to protect the basecoat.



It's also very expensive stuff and rather unforgiving in spraying technique.
