Amsterdam Acrylic Standard Series Paint Set 6x20ml, Pearl
Overview
This Amsterdam Acrylic Standard Series Pearls set from Royal Talens contains six 20 ml tubes of pearlescent acrylic paint in white, yellow, red, blue, violet and green. Designed for artists, students and crafters who want metallic shimmer without switching to specialty metallic alloys, the water-based formula dries quickly to a durable satin sheen and mixes readily with other acrylics or gel mediums for glazing, highlights and mixed-media effects. The compact 20 ml tubes are ideal for trying pearlescent finishes, travel, workshops or adding shimmering accents to larger palettes. Because the pearl pigments are semi-translucent, the set shines brightest over dark grounds or layered glazes, making it best for accents rather than full opaque coverage.
Key Features
- Contents: 6 tubes x 20 ml (white, yellow, red, blue, violet, green)

- Performance: fast-drying; dries to a durable film suitable for varnishing and standard acrylic topcoats
- Packaging: lightweight metal squeeze tubes for precise dispensing and good shelf life when stored capped in a cool, dry place
