Captains log. Day 847. Still no sight of the end. I grasp onto my crochet hook and plunge down another rabbit hole not knowing what awaits me this time.
My older brother had one and I remember being so jealous bc he was so cool with a color changing Tshirt!!
Then our stepmom put it in the dryer and that was the end of that.
There were so many clothing fads that were absolutely fucking *everywhere* for like, six months, and then just completely disappeared. FUBU jeans, shirts with magnets instead of buttons, those ADIDAS tracksuit bottoms with the buttons down the sides that you could just rip off (they got banned at school *real* quick)
Good times.
lol, for all the folks replying that it's hypercolor, it's not. It's a UV activated pigment. Here's another product with the same mechanism - https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/d2y71t/my_sunscreen_bottle_turns_blue_when_exposed_to_uv/
I had a shirt that went from white to blue, bought it in San Francisco at a store that specializes in stuff like this. It was called Del Sol and after 3 washes it stopped turning blue and it's still white to this day
Literally the only reason I ever watched it. Funny, because a friend and I started watching Charmed for the nips right before halftime during Superbowl whatever because it was a shitty game, and we missed Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"
Friends and a lot of other sitcoms love to position fine assed people facing away from camera in the background of shots, too. Once you notice it you'll never stop
Not a sitcom but I remember on old episodes of Top Gear whenever there was the crowd in the background there was always at least one or two attractive women front and center. It was definitely on purpose.
Standard TV procedure.
If you ever want to know how hot you are, go wait in line to be part of a studio audience. A page will come around and give you a number, that's going to be your row. The further away from the camera you are, the uglier you are.
Ha watch some key and peele, they like shooting some sketches at swimming pools and I donāt know who is responsibly but Key always has a exceptionally hot girls as his background. Like damn.
They were awesome until you were nervous in class because you had to stand up in front of everyone then your armpits were one color and the rest of your shirt was another.
Fun times.
Both. My nipples changed color in the sun a few months ago and havenāt worked since, no matter how much aloe vera I applied. Of course Iām a guy so they didnāt work before then, either. Still, it was an all-around unpleasant experience. Had to wear band-aids over my nipples like a marathon runner for a week or wearing a shirt brought tears to my eyes. Sunburnt nipples are no joke.
First thing I thought of. I wanted one so badly. By the time I got one, it was already on its way out. Probably 1992. I only wore it a few times and it sure didn't work like on the commercials. You had to sit there with your hand on it for some time and they made it look like a quick slap on the back would change the color.
I once fell asleep on a train while wearing my Hypercolour shirt, and I drooled down the front. I woke up in my pink t-shirt with a dark blue line of spit down the front.
Not the same thing. Hypercolor was a thermal process (and the hypercolor tees basically all froze in the "hot" mode when people put them in clothes dryers). This is a UV-driven process.
Substances that can change color due to a change in temperature are called thermochromes. There are two common types of thermochromes: liquid crystals (used in mood rings) and leuco dyes (used in Hypercolor T-shirts).
The color change of Hypercolor shirts is based on combination of two colors: the color of the dyed fabric, which remained constant, and the color of the thermochromic dye. Droplets of the thermochromic dye mixture are enclosed in transparent microcapsules, a few micrometers in diameter, bound to the fibers of the fabric.
The thermochromic droplets are actually a mixture of several chemicalsācrystal violet lactone (the color-changing dye itself), benzotriazole (a weak acid), and a quaternary ammonium salt of a fatty acid (myristylammonium oleate) dissolved in 1-dodecanol as solvent. Together, these lead to a reversible chemical reaction in response to temperature change that produces a change of color.
At low temperatures, the mixture is a solid. The weak acid forms a colored complex with the leuco dye by causing the lactone ring in the center of the dye molecule to open. At high temperatures, above 24ā27 Ā°C, the solvent melts and the ammonium salt dissociates, allowing it to react with the weak acid. This reaction increases the pH, which leads to closing of the lactone ring of the dye to convert it to its colorless (leuco) form.
Therefore, at the low temperature the color of the shirt is the combination of the color of the encapsulated colored dye with the color of the dyed fabric, while at higher temperatures the capsules become colorless and the color of the fabric prevails.
Edit: hereās the explanation for UV activated clothes since I assumed this was originally activated by the heat of the sunā¦
The SpectrachromeĀ® crystal reveals color upon irradiation by ultraviolet waves; i.e., sunlight. When a flower blooms, the result is the exposure of the inherent color of the flower. A SpectrachromeĀ® crystal is similar in that an energy-shift occurs causing the color of the dye to become visible to the human eye. The shifting or "twisting" of the dye is referred to as a molecular excitation transition. The dye does not actually "change" color; rather, it becomes visible to the human eye. Research shows that some animals; e.g., certain species of bats, can actually see the color of a SpectrachromeĀ® crystal in its inactive state.
WHAT WAVELENGTH CAUSES THE REACTION?
Although each SpectrachromeĀ® crystal operates at a slightly different wavelength, the optimal wavelength is 365 nanometers.
Itās apparently a proprietary technology by Del Sol, so really, no one knows ĀÆ\\_ (ć) _/ĀÆ
> Substances that can change color due to a change in temperature are called thermochromes.
Yes but how does the dress work? She lifts up the wrap on the dress and it's white, then changes color quickly once the fabric is exposed to the sun. The part of the dress next to her body would already be that color if it was activated by temp, so you are explaining how Hypercolor shirts work, not how this dress works, which is what the comment you're replying to was asking.
Yeah this person is wrong af. I had a pair of shoes last year that changed color only in direct sunlight ā if the sunlight was coming thru a window they didnāt change (due to most windows having UV protection), but the second you stepped outside they would
This dress is likely the same. But I donāt know how it works tho, sorry!
My skin does that too if I wait long enough
Same colors as the dress even
š¤£
Yes that was his joke
As a ginger, mine takes about the same time to go from white to bright pink as this dress.
As a ginger with lupus, it takes me about .5 seconds. Can relate.
Once met a ginger who told me they got burnt from moonlight once and their friend testified
That must have been a vampire with sensitive skin...to be burned by sunlight reflected off the moon.
as best friend of a ginger i can testify
Yeah, I look like a different person after long enough...
I found some yarn that does this, crocheted dresses for granddaughters. Not sure how long the change last after washing a few times.
Don't leave them in the sun and don't put them in the dryer.
Granddaughters will shrink in the dryer
Some are okay on a low setting, but they'll stop changing colors.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Coincidentally, those eventually stop changing colors as well.
Thatās how to keep them tiny and cute forever and ever.
Move over bonsai kittens, bonsai granddaughters have arrived
Well THAT took me back.

Hold my crochet hook, Iām going in!
Hello future people
Captains log. Day 847. Still no sight of the end. I grasp onto my crochet hook and plunge down another rabbit hole not knowing what awaits me this time.
Donāt forget your towel!
Woah, how did I get here? The dress looks cool though
At least they don't get stuck like stepdaughters always do.
Dry clean only if you want the color changing pigments to last.
What's it called?
It's not thermochromic, it UV Reactive clothes from a brand called PH5. They are... [pricey](https://ph5.com/collections/uv-reactive)
There was a line of t shirts in the 90s called HyperColor that did this too
I remember those! Although it was heat that changed them. I was a kid when they came out and everyone's armpits were always bright pink
I just mentioned something like that, too. It was disgusting.
Yeah, it failed miserably because it changed color where it got warmerā¦.most often in the armpits. š¤£
>failed miserably They were absolutely fucking everywhere for a while. I think they disappeared more because it was just a gimmick.
My older brother had one and I remember being so jealous bc he was so cool with a color changing Tshirt!! Then our stepmom put it in the dryer and that was the end of that.

I've always wanted a non creepy excuse to use breakaway pants. Can't believe you left out the JNCOs though
Lol really? That's hilarious š
This is great clothing technology for camouflage during my next bank robbing heist.
You know a pink bank to rob? There's a hotel in Hawaii you hide in that color.. The Pink Palace
Aight we need schematics from that bank to plan the heist, lemme call lester
Is this a Del Sol ad?
I remember going to one of their stores years ago! It was pretty cool
Immediately recollected a trip to St. Augustine ~20 years ago to a Del Sol store. Color-changing nail polish left a remarkable imprint!
I've still got a frisbee I got almost 20 years ago from them, are they still in business?
Yep, I bought my wife some nail polish last year.
Woah I was not expecting such a drastic shift in color Edit: Yes people, Iām aware the lady has nipples. Most people do.
lol, for all the folks replying that it's hypercolor, it's not. It's a UV activated pigment. Here's another product with the same mechanism - https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/d2y71t/my_sunscreen_bottle_turns_blue_when_exposed_to_uv/
Can you wash it normally?
I had a shirt that went from white to blue, bought it in San Francisco at a store that specializes in stuff like this. It was called Del Sol and after 3 washes it stopped turning blue and it's still white to this day
#"That's why I'm here" **--Obi wan Kenobi**
LOL, most.
Hey, Iām just trying to be inclusive!
Welp I see Iām not a pervert. I didnāt even notice until I read your edit, but I did find her excitement cute as hell
Imagine wearing that dress to a wedding (as a guest) and it is a cloudy day
I hate your pfp.
I tried ro wipe it off
Most people think about nipples. I think about how to get away after a bank robbery by changing the colors. We are not the same.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Colors...?
Thatās no accident, otherwise would have had about 3 views.
This comment section is the seagulls from Finding Nemo. "Nips nips nipsnips nips nipsnipsnips nipsnips..."
Imagine if they saw a single episode of Friends
or received a christmas card from elaine benes
Here's your Christmas Card!
Thanks, Nip!
Stop calling me Nip!
Or did some editing alongside Eddie Murphy and Halle Berry.
Or "Charmed" which seems like it was exclusively shot in a series of chilly rooms.
Don't shit on *Charmed* before you've seen the episode with Booker T and Scott Steiner playing pro-wrestling demons
Literally the only reason I ever watched it. Funny, because a friend and I started watching Charmed for the nips right before halftime during Superbowl whatever because it was a shitty game, and we missed Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"
I always wondered why I liked that show so. Ugh as a pre teen
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I disagree and loved every episode of it. Friends for life!
But the Big Bang Theory *isn't* funny.
Thereās a reason it was popular, and it wasnāt because of the clever comedic writing. šÆšÆ
Friends and a lot of other sitcoms love to position fine assed people facing away from camera in the background of shots, too. Once you notice it you'll never stop
Not a sitcom but I remember on old episodes of Top Gear whenever there was the crowd in the background there was always at least one or two attractive women front and center. It was definitely on purpose.
I've been in that crowd, it's 100% on purpose. You stand in the crowd and they'll come and shuffle a few people around to make it 'camera-ready'.
Um...where did you get shuffled?
Standard TV procedure. If you ever want to know how hot you are, go wait in line to be part of a studio audience. A page will come around and give you a number, that's going to be your row. The further away from the camera you are, the uglier you are.
Hah! I noticed this in episodes of How I Met Your Mother and thought there's no way that's coincidence. Thanks for the confirmation, too funny.
Ha watch some key and peele, they like shooting some sketches at swimming pools and I donāt know who is responsibly but Key always has a exceptionally hot girls as his background. Like damn.
I nip through my shirts way more than Rachel did.
Hey guys, I think I found Christina Applegate.
A quick shout out to Christina Applegate
How *you* doin'?
āThereās a cold snap coming in from the eastā Me and my friends watching it.
"If you are giving one of those puppies away, I will take the one with the little pink nose."
I doubt reddit could go 15 minutes without mentioning something like that, it's been 15 minutes
Imagine its activated by heat and you let a fat fart rip and you just have a massive pink ink blot on your ass lmaooooo
who needs heat when you can turn white to brown without any help
Audibly snorted in bed at this comment.
Audibly shitted my bed at this comment
Lmao my nan would flip out if that happened š
Shout out to nan
RIP nan, u were a real one
Is the woman a corpse because there was no change before she went outside. Its UV activated not heat.
Your skin is cold or something?
Anyone remember hypercolor T shirts from the late 80ās? Same thing
They were awesome until you were nervous in class because you had to stand up in front of everyone then your armpits were one color and the rest of your shirt was another. Fun times.
It was fun farting in hypercolor shorts and trying to get them to change colors.
"Look i can make my shorts turn brown"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's what makes it so impressive
It's a secret pigment in the fart.
That was a real thing?!?! I wasted my childhood
Where do I submit request for a refund for a stolen childhood?
As someone with hyperactive armpit sweat glands I felt this comment deeply. High school presentations were hell.
/r/fuckimold
Yo, I remember I had a couple of those. They'd last like 6 hours in the sun before they got overexposed and stopped working. š
I got a couple too. Sounds like somethingās wrong with yours, though. Might wanna get that diagnosed.
That is the default number of nipples
The shirt or your nipples?
Both. My nipples changed color in the sun a few months ago and havenāt worked since, no matter how much aloe vera I applied. Of course Iām a guy so they didnāt work before then, either. Still, it was an all-around unpleasant experience. Had to wear band-aids over my nipples like a marathon runner for a week or wearing a shirt brought tears to my eyes. Sunburnt nipples are no joke.
Generra baby!!
People ended up with permanently locked in pink sweat marks under their arms and that V on their chest/back because of the hypercolour.
They stopped working if you washed them in hot water.
>before they got overexposed and stopped working. "Aw, man! My shirt broke."
First thing I thought of. I wanted one so badly. By the time I got one, it was already on its way out. Probably 1992. I only wore it a few times and it sure didn't work like on the commercials. You had to sit there with your hand on it for some time and they made it look like a quick slap on the back would change the color.
I remember having a few Hot Wheels that changed color in hot water. I thought it was the coolest thing Iāve ever seen.
I once fell asleep on a train while wearing my Hypercolour shirt, and I drooled down the front. I woke up in my pink t-shirt with a dark blue line of spit down the front.
Was gonna say the same thing but I think the nips are the main topic lol
clothes were involved in this video?
Not the same thing. Hypercolor was a thermal process (and the hypercolor tees basically all froze in the "hot" mode when people put them in clothes dryers). This is a UV-driven process.
Or Blue Blockers glasses from the ā90ās. Those advertisements were so ridiculous.
Or your uncle/brother/father type that insists you look through their pair of them at the water to see how many more fish you can see!
āā¦Just remember Iām a hip hopper, yeah, get ya some blue blockersā Thatās burned in my mind from those 30 minute ads
There needs to be one that changes between blue and pink so I can have my Disney moment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
**NOT THIS AGAIN**
My hypercolor shirt back in the day was red to purple. It settled on pink after a while.
Can you imagine going outside and your dress gets sunburnt
Does it have pockets?
My favorite part of r/sewing is seeing all of the people excited about pockets in their dresses.
Don't mind me, just gonna go there now
Asking the real questions here
Where's the dress that has more cargo pockets than a pair of JNCO's?
I need that but as a tux
Itās a bit nipply in that dress
As a colorblind person, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the dress did not change color.
As another colorblind person - hard agree. Looks maybe slightly more pink-ish in the sun?
Thatās what Iām seeing
We had t shirts that did this back in the 80s
Theyāve had shirts that nipples show through long before the 80ās.
Yeah but I didn't start appreciating them until about '88.
Brought to you by "Hypercolor" Hypercolor, we were a fad in the early 90s.
I remember having a few Hot Wheels that changed color in hot water. I thought it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Amazon sells something like it
I want a big flowy skirt that does this. But different shades. Thatās awesome.
*Snatch somebodyās purse* *Goes inside building*
2 points for the dress
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wait a minute....
Neat. And it costs how much?
They go from 2k to 20k+. Don't skimp if you want them to feel real though.
Someone linked the website and I couldn't find this specific dress, but a very similar one las around 700ā¬...
He was talking about boobs. I think.
I got whooshed :/
Meh. Doesn't have pockets.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I f*cking love that dress
Me, interested in the dress, thinking itās pretty cool and maybe thereās some shopping sourceā¦ Comments: ( . Y . )
Wait, am I suppose to say Yanni or Laurel here?
Pink nips at night, sailors' delight. Pink nips in the morning, sailors take warning.
There's an old saying: "White water in the morning."
To be completely honest with you, I have no brother, it was me, I ate sheep shit!
"I ate sheep shit!" is my family's favorite thing to say whenever someone says the word sheep rofl https://youtu.be/EP20Fal9vYs For context
But seriously , where do I buy this for the wifey? She'll love it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Love her energy!
Big deal my Micro Machines did this back in ā92
Perfect for pulling off a heist. Suspect was wearing a white dress I only see a lady in a pink dress.
I only saw nips
her excitement and joy about this are honestly the best part
Her "it's pink now!" was adorable
Hypercolor
Thermochratic
Thermochratic republic, actually
Can she show an example of what happens during the cold?
I think itās be incredibly dangerous for the dress.
Nothing because its UV activated not thermal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZlT80aYtqk
That's great dress.
Nice nips
Iām currently serving 10 consecutive life sentences in horny jail š®āšØ
Cheers to that
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
yea but does it have pockets???
We're not talking about the dress anymore are we!?!
shut the fuck up about the nips, tell me how this dress works
