Abstract
Materials that can undergo a reversible color change, upon the application of an external stimulus, are technically known as chromic
materials. Research into the application of such materials has been
extensive due to the ability of color change to effectively convey
important information and therefore have been used in the industry to fulfill certain applications. Since they have the capability to
change their colour, they have been used in some hazardous applications, medical applications and some may serve pure artistic
statement. Each of these chromic materials react to external stimuli in a very different way. Materials that display chromic properties
are classified by the type of stimuli that induces their color change.
This paper aims to introduce the different types of chromic materials used within the industry and to demonstrate how far they are
known within the Egyptian community through surveys.

Figure3 shows 63% of people sometimes they wish they could buy the same product in different while 20% answered an affirmative answer confirming they wish they could the same product in different colours while only 17% answered with declination. Those people were then asked to what extent they are aware of colour-change clothing. Figure.4 shows that less than 50% do know what colour-change clothing is while more than 50% do not have the knowledge or the awareness of such materials. So in order to introduce such clothing to the Egyptian market, the survey covered the people’s preference when it comes to colour change outwear. As it is reflected in Figure.5, it is shown that the most preferred clothing that contains photochromic prints which in other words changes colour in the sun. The second most preferred was to have a mixture of all chromic materials.
