Perfect for

This shade is ideal for pointed pen calligraphy, broad edge lettering, illustration, journaling, card making, and decorative painting. Its deep brown tone works especially well in autumn palettes, botanical themes, rustic designs, vintage-inspired projects, and artwork where a darker metallic colour adds richness and character.

How to use

Add clean water to the surface of the pearlcolor and allow it to activate properly before use. Dissolve "Chocolate" well until the colour becomes really creamy, as it can appear rather black if mixed too thin. Once softened, stir gently with a brush until the shimmer is smooth and ready to apply. A richer mixture will help reveal its warm dark brown character more clearly.
