Hand crafted Coliro Swatches by Hannah and Tash

We are publishing copies of the hand crafted swatches in PDF format so please contact helpline@tindalls.co.uk for a copy if you would like one.

Coliro Pearlcolors  are non toxic pearlescent watercolour paints that come in individual pans or sets of 6 or 12. You can buy sets ready made up or you can buy an empty palette and fill it up with colours of your choice.

They are handcrafted in a
small village in Bavaria and made purely with pigment and gum Arabic with
minimal stabiliser.

They can be used like any
regular watercolour paints, just dilute with water. The thicker the paint is
the more intense the colours will be when you use them.

You can use them on many
surfaces as long as they are not too smooth or waterproof. They work perfectly
on paper, wood, stone and clay.

We love using them for
calligraphy, using them with a brush or a dip pen. They work beautifully on all
shades of paper, the pearlcolors themselves are opaque and the
shimmer-pearlcolors are more difficult to see on lighter coloured paper but are
beautifully iridescent on dark paper. They are also wonderful to use to add
some sparkle to a watercolour painting.

Kindly note that the images in the document, being 2
dimensional, do not show the true effects of Coliro to the human eye. A good
example of this can be seen if you look at the colour blue pearl
