DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Oil Colors - 37ml and 150ml TubesAdd dimension and brilliance to your paintings with our Luminescents.
Luminescent pigments offer artists visual effects that cannot be duplicated with traditional artists’ pigments. DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Oils combine the high pigment load and superior working qualities of our Original Oil Colors with the ability to reflect light, bringing an added dimensional quality to your painting.
These unique colors can be integrated into your oil palette to produce subtle areas of reflected light or to add dramatic color-shifting effects.
DANIEL SMITH offers four types of luminescent oil colors—Iridescent, Interference, Pearlescent and Duochrome—and they each produce a different effect. The science of luminescent color begins and ends with light. Conventional pigments produce color by absorbing all wavelengths of light except for the one wavelength that is reflected back to the viewer, producing the color that we see. When viewing iridescent and metallic colors, that same light is reflected back (like a mirror), bringing a metallic luster to your work. With Interference and Duochrome pigments the light is refracted and scattered. This interference of the reflected light produces color effects that shift as the viewer moves around your work, adding depth and dimension. Pearlescent colors offer a softer reflected light for a subtle, smooth sheen.

Using Metallic, Pearlescent and Iridescent Colors
Iridescent and metallic oils offer a broad range of color from brilliant, bright tones to rich antique metals. Choose these colors for maximum shine and reflection. The Iridescent Antique colors are darker in tone for a rich patina. Use the Pearlescent colors for slightly softer effects.
The remaining colors in the Iridescent line make up a full palette of vibrant, reflective color. You can mix these colors, as you would with a standard palette, and produce a range of neutral tones. Try incorporating iridescent colors in floral works for the natural sheen that many flowers possess. So many subjects benefit from a subtle sparkle. Landscapes, and seascapes in particular, become dynamic with light reflecting pigments.

Using Interference and Duochrome Colors
Interference colors are made from mica, a naturally transparent mineral, that is coated with layers of a metal oxide. These paints are unique in their ability to refract and scatter light, creating a 3-D effect. Because they are light responsive, they work best mixed with other colors or painted over a dark surface. Try mixing them with your standard palette colors—they add depth and a shine that embodies their color name. Use Duochrome paint for color that shifts and changes as it is viewed from different angles.
