Golden Indigo places a metallic gold beside a deep blue-violet, and the two never quite merge, so raised edges catch the gold while recesses stay dark. That contrast suits heraldry, ornate frames, jewellery boxes, chess pieces and anything carrying carved or embossed relief. As a dual silk PLA it runs on an ordinary PLA profile and finishes glossy without post-work, which saves the masking and hand-painting the same effect would otherwise demand. Models with strong ridges and undercuts show the split most clearly, while smooth flat panels tend to read as a wash of one colour or the other. SA Filament produces it in South Africa.
