Ecoline's unique shades

Ecoline colours: opaque vs transparent

In our wide range of colours, we have both opaque and transparent options. Two standout shades are white (100) and gold (801). These colours are not only thicker but also more opaque. This is partly because the white and gold contain more opaque pigments rather than dyes.

White and gold are perfect for adding striking accents to your Ecoline artworks. You can also mix them with transparent colours to create soft pastel shades or add a sparkling shimmer to your palette.

Create the perfect pastel or shimmer effect

The more white you add, the more opaque and softer the colour becomes, creating a beautiful pastel tone. Adding more gold enhances the shimmer effect, giving your artwork a stunning shine. Experiment with the ratio and discover how to transform your shade to the desired intensity!

FAQ

What makes the gold and white Ecoline colours so special?

Unlike our other liquid Ecoline colours, these shades contain pigments rather than dyes. This makes the colours significantly more opaque, ideal for transforming other colours into pastels and shimmering effects. The more gold or white Ecoline you add, the more opaque your mixture will become.

How much gold or white Ecoline should I add to my base colour?

This depends on the effect you want to achieve. Start with a small amount of gold or white Ecoline and mix it into your base colour until you reach the desired shade. The more white or gold you add, the greater the transformation will be.

Can I use a Brush Pen or Duo Tip to apply the gold and white Ecoline?

No, it is not recommended to use a Brush Pen or Duo Tip, as it may damage the nib. Instead, use a brush to apply these Ecoline colours.

Is this a new product line?

No, this is not a new product line, but rather a creative way to expand your existing palette with gold and white Ecoline in the 58 colours you already know and love.

Do I need special tools to mix the Ecoline?

No, you don't need any special tools! You can simply mix the Ecoline on your palette or in a small container. A regular watercolor brush is perfect for mixing.

Does adding white or gold change the texture of the Ecoline?

Yes, adding white makes the Ecoline more opaque, while gold gives a subtle shimmer. Both options maintain the smooth and fluid characteristics of liquid watercolour.

Can I use these mixed colours on any surface?

Our Ecoline works best on watercolour paper but can also be used on other absorbent surfaces. For smoother or non-absorbent surfaces, we recommend doing a test first to ensure you achieve the desired effect.
