Learn About Chromadepth 3D

Chromadepth 3D popularity is on the rise, thanks to Crayola's new 3D Sidewalk Chalk and the fact that even a small child can make a satisfying enough 3D image.

Chromadepth works because the glasses lenses are made of prism-like holograms. They diffract colors so that red appears the closest and blue the furthest away - with the whole spectrum in between, from front to back.

Chromadepth is the only universal 3D display method - and it is especially vibrant viewed on TV and computer monitors, and can look cool even without glasses.

If you want to experiment with chromadepth yourself, here are some basics to get started.

Chromadepth 101

For closer objects, use warmer colors: brightest red at the front, transitioning to oranges as you move further away
Objects in the middle-ground should be yellow and light green
For furthest objects, use cooler colors: darkest blue at the most distant point, transitioning to greens as you come closer
Use blocks of contrasting colors (red/blue), or outline shapes in black
Be careful with white, it can destroy the 3D effect
Avoid magenta, unless you want objects to have a fuzzy edge
Text/background color options:

Use 2 colors from opposite ends of the spectrum (ie, red/blue)
Exception: light green / dark green works

Use a shiny coating for chromadepth printing, uncoated paper reduces contrast and diminishes the 3D effect
Buy Crayola 3D Sidewalk Chalk on Amazon or at your local toy store - also a fun (and very affordable) gift for everyone
