The acrylic emulsion contains 60% solids (instead of the usual 45% found in artists' colours), allowing us to increase pigment loads and eliminate artificial thickeners. The result is increased pigment loads for more intense colour and enhanced working properties with the flow and delicacy commonly found only in fine gouaches.

• Artist quality acrylic paint made with high solids pure acrylic emulsion
• Increased pigment loads for more robust and more vibrant colours
• Slightly longer open time allows subtle blends of colour
• Smooth buttery texture for ease of application

Composition and Permanence: The colour index name is established and published by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colourists and The Society of Dyers and Colourists. The colour index name is a generic category and does not refer to a specific pigment. While it enables the artist to form a general idea of opacity, transparency and lightfastness for a pigment in a particular colour space, it does not provide definitive information. Many pigment grades are available from several manufacturers with an extensive range of physical attributes.

Chemical Name: The chemical name is a brief, commonly used generic designation of the pigment type composition. In conjunction with the colour index name, the chemical name can broaden the artist's understanding of the source and nature of the pigment used.

Lightfast Rating / Permanence: The permanence of a colour is a measure of the lightfastness of the pigment when dispersed in a vehicle and subjected to conditions which emulate the exposure usually given to a fine arts object. Such ratings are generally considered vehicle or media-dependent and can vary between media — thus, pigment, which is suitably lightfast for oil colour, might not be lightfast in watercolour. The ratings utilize a combination of historical data, accelerated testing and data from pigment manufacturers to establish one of the most demanding standards among artists' colour makers today.

Opacity Rating / Transparency / Opacity: Each colour has a designation indicating relative degrees of transparency to opacity. Please consider these as a guideline because any thin film application, while not necessarily transparent, can be interpreted by the view as such.
