They work beautifully on all\nshades of paper, the pearlcolors themselves are opaque and the\nshimmer-pearlcolors are more difficult to see on lighter coloured paper but are\nbeautifully iridescent on dark paper. They are also wonderful to use to add\nsome sparkle to a watercolour painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kindly note that the images in the document, being 2\ndimensional, do not show the true effects of Coliro to the human eye.
