Coliro Pearlcolors are handmade in Germany using the finest ingredients.
They are artists' colours that can be mixed with water and then used directly with a brush or dip pen and nib. They are wonderfully creamy and highly pigmented.
They are made by hand in Germany with a lot of love. The main components of the colours are mica pigments and gum arabic, both natural ingredients.
The colour palette of the Pearlcolors ranges from shiny gold to glittering pink to iridescent or transparent shades.
The coloured palettes have either the wave surface or the beautiful star-shaped surface that is exclusive to coliro.
Pearlcolors can be used on many surfaces - eg paper, wood, stone, and plaster - and are suitable for calligraphy, painting, decoration and hobbies. The pigments used in the Pearlcolors are very lightfast and therefore do not fade.
Most pearlcolors are opaque, but there are also "shimmer" pearlcolors that appear almost invisible on white paper, but shimmer in the most amazing colours on a dark background.
There are also some magical shades that appear in different colours on white and black paper!
For the perfect colour result, we recommend putting a few drops of water on the colour and waiting a few minutes until the colour pigments have dissolved, then mix well with a brush until a creamy consistency is achieved.
The colour can then either be used straight away with a brush or applied to both sides of a nib for calligraphy. With new nibs, it is important to wash off the oil film with water and a little washing-up liquid before using it for the first time - otherwise, the colour will remain on the nib and not on the paper.
No animal components are used in the production of Pearlcolors - the colours are vegan.
