817 Pearl White
The Rembrandt oil paint collection also includes a pearlescent white called Pearl White (817), a transparent white that adds an iridescent sheen to your work. This white is based on safflower oil and works best when applied in a thin layer on its own or mixed with transparent colours to create custom pearlescent shades.
