Iridescent Oil Colors
Williamsburg Iridescent Colors are colorfast
and permanent. We make these with ground mica so that even
the "metallic" colors will not tarnish. There
are some limitations inherent in the composition of these
colors: in order to refract light and appear metallic or
nacreous, the mica particles must not be ground too small.
They should be almost like tiny crystalline prisms sparkling
with glints of light. Because of this the paint has a semi-translucent
quality - not the heavy covering power of aluminum radiator
paint.

Really does resemble crushed pearls. When mixed with other
transparent pigments, such as ultramarines or phthalos,
it makes beautiful iridescent colors.

Is
somewhat stronger in covering power than our iridescent
gold, also deeper with a mellow burnished look. In certain
light, it appears to have a very subtle greenish cast.
