Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments: Versatile, Shimmering Color for Any Surface or Medium
Pearl Ex powdered pigments are ultra-versatile colorants that can be mixed into virtually any medium and applied to any surface. These unique, non-metallic pigments deliver stunning effects ranging from subtle pearlescent luster to bold, metallic sheens. Unlike metal-based finishes, Pearl Ex pigments use flat platelet particles to create a uniform, elegant layer that mimics the appearance of metal without actual metallic content.
Safe, non-toxic, and with a neutral pH, these pigments are ideal for both fine art and decorative applications. They’re exceptionally colorfast and stable, making them perfect for archival-quality work. Whether you’re working with acrylics, oils, watercolors, fabric paints, wax, clay, or even paper pulp, Pearl Ex opens the door to unlimited creative possibilities.
