Powdered metallic pigments that adapt to your process rather than dictating it. Jacquard Pearl Ex works wet or dry, mixed into paint, dusted onto surfaces, or stamped directly onto porous materials. The fine powder disperses completely in mediums from acrylic to varnish, creating metallic effects without the graininess that compromises smooth application. Temperature stability up to 600°F means you can incorporate these pigments into polymer clay projects and fire them in a kiln without color shift.

Neutral pH protects paper and fabric from degradation, making Pearl Ex reliable for archival work and book arts. Apply dry to wood or ceramics for subtle metallic highlights, or mix into airbrush paint for smooth metallic coverage across large surfaces. The pigments produce convincing material simulations, hammered copper, aged patina, raku glazes, by layering and blending colors rather than relying on single-tone metallic paints. Extreme colorfastness maintains intensity in both interior and exterior applications.

Individual colors let you build a palette around specific projects. Mixed media artists value the flexibility: same pigment works for stamping, painting, sculpture, and surface decoration without switching products or compromising results.
