Multicolored electrochromic polymer compositions and methods of making and using the same

An electrochromic polymer, comprising:

• a plurality of π-conjugated chromophores in spaced relation with one another, wherein each π-conjugated chromophore is colored in a neutral state, and is colored or transmissive in an oxidized state;
• and
• a plurality of conjugation-break spacers (CBSs), wherein at least one CBS separates adjacent π-conjugated chromophores,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of π-conjugated chromophores comprises at least one optionally substituted 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene moiety, at least one optionally substituted benzene moiety, or at least one optionally substituted benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole moiety, or combinations thereof.
