Create your own shimmers and pastel shades with Ecoline

Step 1

Choose your Ecoline colours

With no less than 60 colours, Ecoline offers endless possibilities for your creativity. In our wide range of colours, we have both opaque and transparent options.

Step 2

Add white or gold Ecoline

Two standout shades are white (100) and gold (801). These colours are not only thicker but also more opaque. This is partly because the white and gold contain more opaque pigments rather than dyes.

White and gold are perfect for adding striking accents to your Ecoline artworks. You can also mix them with transparent colours to create soft pastel shades or add a sparkling shimmer to your palette.

Step 3

Pimp your artwork

The more white you add, the more opaque and softer the colour becomes, creating a beautiful pastel tone. Adding more gold enhances the shimmer effect, giving your artwork a stunning shine.

Experiment with the ratio and discover how to transform your shade to the desired intensity!
