Color Changing Glass Tile
Faintly reminiscent of those Hypercolor t-shirts from the early 90’s are the Moving Color glass tiles that change color with exposure to heat. The tiles are available in eight base-coat colors, carry a one-year warranty, and are suitable for use in any kind of installation where they will come into contact with water. You can install the tile in a shower as shown in the picture above, or another application that depicted on their website is where a radiant heat source is installed behind the tile, causing it to change colors without any apparent external stimuli.
Pricing starts at $25 USD per 4-inch square tile, and the only downside we can see (besides the price) is the potential life-span, or lack thereof. The website is quoted as saying that the “Reaction life of moving color has been witnessed as exceeding 7 years.” Assuming you may only get 7-10 years worth of color-changing goodness from the tile, it seems a bit steep for the money. Then again, you may be tired of the look within just a few years so the life-span may be a moot issue.
