The Chromatic Cloak is a Hardmode accessory which allows for more controlled Shimmering. When equipped, touching Shimmer does not immediately inflict the Shimmering debuff, and the player can instead start Shimmering at any time by holding the ▼ Down key. However, after Shimmering starts, it cannot be interrupted anymore, not even by re-equipping the Chromatic Cloak.

While the Chromatic Cloak is equipped, being submerged in Shimmer is comparable to being submerged in water: the player's horizontal and vertical movement speed are slowed by the same amount, the Shimmer can be swam in using accessories such as Flippers, and the player will transform into Merfolk if wearing the Neptune's Shell or its upgrades. However, the player cannot drown in the Shimmer; the breath meter does not appear.
