Golden Heavy Body Iridescent Colours

GOLDEN Iridescent Acrylics are one of the most unique products available to artists today. They offer highly reflective metallic variations when mixed with GOLDEN colours. The GOLDEN Iridescent colours achieve their reflective properties by synthetically reproducing several natural phenomena - the nacreous, or pearlescent, qualities found in fish scales or the dust of a butterfly's wing, and the shiny and reflective qualities found in certain metals and minerals.

"Coarse" Iridescent colours are simply larger particle size versions of our "Fine" Iridescent products. Coarse colours in the Iridescent line include Copper, Copper Light, Gold and Pearl.
All of GOLDEN's Iridescent colours produce a lustre quality by themselves, or when mixed with other colours and mediums. The GOLDEN line of Iridescents can be separated into 3 groups based on chemical composition.
Group I: These colours are derived from mica platelets. They are then coated with an extremely thin layer of titanium dioxide. Refraction and reflection of light at the titanium dioxide layers produces various colours and pearlescent effects. Group 1 pigments include Iridescent Pearl (Coarse and Fine).

Group II: These colours are also derived from mica platelets, but an iron oxide coating causes Group II pigments to possess hues in addition to pearlescent qualities. This group includes Iridescent Gold (Coarse and Fine), Iridescent Copper and Copper Light (Coarse and Fine), and Iridescent Bronze.
Group III: A third group consists of reflective colorants that do not fit the above descriptions, including highly metallic pigments. This group includes Stainless Steel (Coarse and Fine), Micaceous Iron Oxide, and Mica Flakes (all varieties).

60ml paints are in tubes, larger sizes are in pots.
