Description:

Opera Rose is a vibrant, neon-like watercolour pigment that radiates with an intense, almost fluorescent pink hue. Known for its eye-catching brightness, this colour is perfect for creating bold florals, lively skies, and any subject requiring a pop of brilliant, glowing pink. Its luminous, warm tone adds energy and excitement to paintings, making it a popular choice for contemporary, high-impact work.

Despite its powerful intensity, Opera Rose maintains a smooth, transparent quality, allowing for beautiful, glowing washes and subtle blends with other colours. When diluted, it produces soft, luminous pinks, and when applied in full strength, it delivers a striking, bold magenta that commands attention. It mixes well with other colours, especially blues and purples, creating vivid purples or bright, glowing reds in combinations.

One thing to note is that Opera Rose is less lightfast than some other watercolour pigments, meaning it may fade over time when exposed to strong light. Artists often use it for temporary works or in combination with more stable colours for lasting vibrancy. Its unique, electrifying quality makes it a must-have for adding bold, luminous highlights or expressive accents to watercolour paintings.
