Iridescent Topaz is a pale yellow-gold with just the slightest hint of a green undertone. Iridescent watercolors, part of the DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors collection, reflect light, causing it to scatter, and their transparent quality adds a fascinating sense of depth to your work. Why choose Luminescent Watercolors? Because Nature has optical surprises in the colors that you see in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen to them. Consider the iridescence of a snail’s trail or a silvery spider’s web. Other things that also have a sparkle, or glow depending on the light, a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and glint of water reflections. Don’t forget the sheen of metals like pewter, copper, silver, and gold. There are also mythic subjects that are often thought of as having a special iridescence to them such as fairies, dragons, mermaids and other fantasy figures. DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors add that touch of special color found in nature that regular colors cannot match. They’re made from mica pigment, thin transparent particles coated with highly reflective metal oxides. Luminescent Watercolors show best as glazes over darker colors and are excellent mixed with other colors adding a bit of their luminescent glow.
This exclusive DANIEL SMITH color is a stunner – a rich blue-gray with impressive granulation and dazzling, glittery sparkle. Its name comes from the Greek word kyanos meaning dark blue enamel.

Lapis Lazuli mineral
Conforms to ASTM D4236
Lapis lazuli has been prized for its beauty, its mystical properties, and its perfection as a pigment. Ancient civilizations believed that the veins of glittering pyrite found in the lapis were actual gold, driving up its value. The stone’s expense today, as in the ancient world, results from its hardness, which makes extraction difficult. Mined in the mountains of South America, this gem-quality pigment is a subtle blue-grey, with a classic color that is light reflective (due to the irregular and angular shape of the pigment particles). Our Genuine Lapis Lazuli is at least 80% pure gem pigment suspended in a natural binder.

Pearlescent colors give white paper a pearl-like luster. Use Pearlescent Shimmer as a glaze for a snow-like glimmer or mix with other colors to add sparkle and shine.

Phthalo Blue Turquoise is a stunning color and will take your breath away! This color is perfect for tropical seas and the deeper turquoise water off white sand beaches and so much more. The highly transparent, warm blue is positioned chromatically on the DANIEL SMITH color chart after Manganese Blue Hue and before Cobalt Teal Blue. Phthalo Blue Turquoise mixes beautifully with other colors, try mixing it with New Gamboge for a beautiful natural green, Quinacridone Rose resulting in a neutral violet and Pyrrol Scarlet for a fabulous gray. Phthalo Blue Turquoise is not quite as staining as the other Phthalo colors, so it is considered medium staining, and like our other Phthalo colors it is non-granulating and has excellent lightfastness.

Sugilite mineral
Conforms to ASTM D4236
A beautiful granulating pigment from South Africa, Sugilite is another standout in our line of PrimaTek colors. First found in 1944 and named for its Japanese discoverer, the rare opaque mineral ranges from grayish lavendar to pink to deep purple. Transparent as a watercolor pigment, it combines subtle fuchsia pink and warm gray in a single strongly textural color. In a wash, the gray settles with a slight graphite-like sheen, while the pink rises to resemble the color in an overcast dawn sky. It’s a great complement to golds, oranges and greens, including Quinacridone Gold and Sap Green.
