Fast responsive photochromic materials are obtained by encapsulation of the photoactive molecules within liquid‐filled capsules. By properly selecting the nature of the liquid core, solid stable materials are prepared with solution‐like color‐changing rates that are at least tenfold faster than those measured for rigid polymer thin films and particles.
