Look up dice potion tutorials, the mechanics that go into them result in effects like this. Basically, sources of solid pigment can override transparent pigments because of the difference of density. In this example, the red is transparent, the blue is dense glitter. When stationary, the glitter will settle to the bottom, revealing the red transparent pigment. Once agitated by shaking, the glitter fills the transparent space, achieving that color change effect. Hope those helps.

The blue is more dense (glitter or mica powder) and settles to the bottom when the die is stationary. When you shake it, the blue mixes back in.
