DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors

Use alone or mix into standard colors for striking effects of light and color. Miniscule particles of titanium-cotaed mica are the secret. Different sized particles and thicknesses of coating provide the dazzling array of choices.

INTERFERENCE and PEARLESCENT colors appear almost colorless but when applied over a dark color they bounce back gleaming color. The interference colors take on different hues depending on the point of view and how the light is striking them. Viewed from one angle, Interference Green is a shimmering, pearly green. Viewed from another angle, it refracts a reddish hue.

Our DUOCHROME COLORS bounce between two distinct colors depending on the reflective light. Pure visual excitement!

The IRIDESCENT COLORS reflect light directly and provide a fascinating sense of depth, along with intense color and sheen.
