Abstract Synthetic molecular photoswitches have taken center stage as high‐precision tools to introduce light‐responsiveness at the smallest scales. Today they are found in all areas of applied chemistry, covering materials research, chemical biology, catalysis, or nanotechnology. For a next step applicability truly orthogonal photoswitching is highly desirable but date such independent addressability different remains challenging. Herein we present first example all‐visible, all‐light responsive, and path‐ photoswitching. By combining two recently developed indigoid ‐ peri‐anthracenethioindigo rhodanine‐based chromophore four‐state system established each state can be accessed high yields completely independently also with visible light irradiation only. The four states give rise colors, which transferred solid polymer matrix yield versatile multi‐state photochromic material.
