Williamsburg Native Italian Earth Oil Colors
We are now offering an exciting new line of traditional native Italian earth colors. While these have always made our siennas with premium Italian pigments, these particular earths are scarce and used primarily by art conservators. They are the very same pigments used by the great Sienese and Florentine masters. All are authentic and come from the regions of Italy made famous by these pigments. Unfortunately, because these colors are difficult to get, we cannot absolutely guarantee availability. Please call us at 800-293-9399 before ordering to insure that we have them in stock. Because of the limited quantities available to us, we offer these colors only in 40 ml. and 150 ml. tube sizes.

#1893 Interference Green

Titanium Dioxide Coated Mica
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent

Iridescent and Interference Colors
Williamsburg makes a line of iridescent colors that are both 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 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.

Imagine the colors that shoot out of a fire opal, except each color is isolated. For example interference violet goes on like an almost colorless glaze but violet "fire picks up and reflects the light. These interference colors work best in glazes - they lose their opalescent sheen when mixed too much with other colors.
