“Duochrome Lapis Sunlight shows its colors best over black paper or darker watercolor; it shifts from reflective green to blue. Why Luminescent Watercolors? Nature has optical surprises in the colors that you see in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen to them. Consider the iridescence of a snail’s trail or a silvery spider’s web. Other things that also have a sparkle, or glow depending on the light, a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and glint of water reflections.
About Daniel Smith Swatch Drawdown⁠

The Daniel Smith Drawdown is a tool used by our chemists to test the color batch in the lab before moving onto the production floor to be made. What you see on the drawdown is the paint being mixed with distilled water in a ten-to-one ratio (10:1). This is 10 parts distilled water by weight to one part paint. Once the paint and distilled water are mixed the chemist then loads a brush with the paint by dipping it into the mixture one time. The chemist then proceeds to do a wash on the upper portion of the drawdown. What you see is a wash completed by loading the brush only once.⁠

⁠Next, a new brush is used and again loaded with the same mixture. The chemist then starts from the top left and makes brush lines until reaching the end of the paper which is bottom right. This gradient shows what the paint looks like from first putting it down until the point the brush is almost or fully unloaded. The paper used for drawdowns is Lana Aquarelle 140# cold-processed watercolor paper.⁠
