The color-changing property of alexandrites (Colour-chance Chrysoberyl), known as the alexandrite effect, occurs because of how the gemstone absorbs and reflects light. The stone typically exhibits a vibrant green hue under daylight or lighting conditions with a color temperature of around 5000K. However, when viewed under warmer light sources like an incandescent light, around 2500K, it shifts to shades of brown, red or purplish-red.

In real-world scenarios, lighting is rarely constant or from a single source. Most environments combine various types of light—natural daylight, LED, fluorescent, or incandescent—leading to a blend of the gemstone's colors. This dynamic interplay of light makes alexandrites appear different throughout the day and in various settings.
