Description

The range organises its colours into distinct series, each formulated to produce a specific type of result.

The transparent series uses a low pigment load in a water-based acrylic binder, which allows light to pass through the dried paint film. Transparent colours are ideal for layering one colour over another to create optical mixes, building depth through successive passes, and working with gradients and shading where subtlety matters more than coverage. They perform best on light or white grounds where the underlying surface contributes to the overall tone.

The opaque series uses a higher pigment load and a formulation that blocks rather than transmits light. These colours deliver solid, even coverage and perform reliably on dark or multicoloured grounds where transparent colours would simply disappear. They are the practical choice for commercial illustration, custom apparel work, signage, and any application that demands clean, predictable colour over a complex background.

The metallic series contains actual metallic pigments rather than iridescent or pearlescent substitutes. The distinction matters. Iridescent pigments rely on thin-film interference to produce colour that shifts with viewing angle. Metallic pigments contain fine metallic particles that reflect light directly, producing a finish that reads as genuinely metallic across all angles. On smooth, non-absorbent surfaces, these colours achieve a high-sheen metallic effect. On fabric, the reflective quality is softer because the textile surface scatters the light, producing a lustrous rather than mirror-bright result.

The fluorescent series is formulated with high-intensity pigments that absorb ultraviolet energy and re-emit it as visible light. This photoluminescent property is what gives fluorescent colours their characteristic brilliance. Under daylight conditions, they appear far more saturated than conventional pigments of equivalent hue. Under UV or black light, they glow. This makes them widely used in performance art, costume design, event decor, and commercial design contexts where visual impact at a distance is a requirement.

The named shades — Volt, Miami, Gamma Blue, Military Green, Fire Red, Navy, Tanned Leather, Concrete Grey, Bright Yellow, and Bright Orange — sit outside the standard series structure. These are specific, trend-driven colours developed with fashion, footwear customisation, and contemporary design applications in mind. They give artists and customisers access to colours that reflect current design language rather than a conventional colour wheel.

This range works well for:

• Custom apparel, footwear, and accessory design.
• Fabric art and wearable art projects.
• Leather painting and customisation.
• Illustration on paper and card.
• Scale modelling and prop-making.
• Mixed-media studio work.
