Depending on the type of external stimuli applied to bring about the reversible color change, the chromogenic materials are further subclassified as photochromic (light activated), electrochromic (electric field activated), thermochromic (heat activated), gasochromic (gas exposure activated), piezochromic (pressure activated), magnetochromic (magnetic field activated) and more [1].
