Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolors are specialty colors with optical effects, found in nature, that regular colors cannot replicate. These colors have an iridescent sheen, shimmer, sparkle or color shift often seen in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, flowers, metals and water. The luminous quality of these special watercolors give artists a wider range of color options.

Formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards, every batch is thoroughly analyzed for its performance qualities – lightfastness, color value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density and viscosity. Paint everything you can imagine with vibrant and consistent colors that can be easily mixed for even more variations.
