Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a pearlescent colorant and a classic colorant?
A pearlescent colorant such as Pearl Color uses a pearlescent pigment that reflects light, creating a luminous, pearl-like effect, while a classic colorant produces a flat shade without any particular reflection.
Can Pearl Color Red be applied directly with a brush?
Yes. Dilute a small amount of powder in food-grade alcohol, such as neutral vodka, to create a pearlescent paint for application with a brush to dry chocolate or sugar paste.
Does this colorant require a child warning on the label?
Pearlescent colorants such as Pearl Color generally use mineral pearlescent pigments rather than azo dyes subject to a regulatory warning; however, check the ingredient list on the label received before use.
