    Thanks for all the info on chatoyance
    I'd like to know more about the "blonde" and "Red" oils you refer to in your testing.

    These are local brand oils, with a relatively low cost. However, their packaging provides no information at all about their content. The "blonde" oil does not alter colour, while the "red" oil leaves a reddish hue.
    I believe that the red hue is responsible for the higher visible chatoyance, and any other dye would work as well...
