Opal Colors are very unique colors we formulate using a combination of the finest iridescent, pearlescent and interference mica particles enhanced with transparent artists’ pigments. These colors offer a unique shimmering iridescent luster resembling that of the most beautiful opal gemstones. Highly transparent colors that are influenced by previous paint layers. They can be used by themselves for a pearly metallic sheen and can be added to other colors to produce your own pearlescent mixtures. Like most interference colors, the effect is very difficult to catch in a photograph- you have to see them in the light in order to appreciate their beautiful, color shifting quality!
