Abstract Photochromic materials have shown significant potential in a plethora of possible applications. However, practical applications, they remain limited by intricate multi‐stage synthesis processes and restricted range photochromic colors. Modulating the chromatic properties involves an manipulation their chemical composition, crystal structure, trapping energy levels, rendering it extremely challenging to achieve desired color gamut. In this study, apatite‐type are rapidly synthesized using microwave‐assisted approach. The behavior is systematically examined substituting F⁻ ions with Cl⁻ ions, facilitating transformation centers from pink green ultimately blue. Notably, prominent reflectance absorption peak ≈554 nm exhibited gradual red shift 625 nm. A thorough characterization reveals that large wavelength F‐center arises effective modulation levels differing trap distributions linked photochromism observed across various Sr₅(PO₄)₃F₁₋ x Cl :1%Eu.
