Opal 2 is a professional pigment from the Etalon Mix collection, developed in collaboration with Anna Vasileva for advanced technical practice and artistic simulations on synthetic media. The Opal shade represents the darkest nuance in the palette, characterized by a red base with a high concentration of black, ideal for creating depth, intense contrasts, and sophisticated shades during technical practice.

This pigment is primarily designed for graphic shading work and for adding defined color accents in high-definition simulations. Thanks to its intensity and versatility, Opal can also be used to increase the contrast of other colors in the palette, helping create more structured and three-dimensional effects on drawing materials.

When used on simulations with cool undertone backgrounds or bases, the use of a color corrector is recommended to maintain balance and harmony in the final result. To achieve greater intensity and brightness of the color, the pigment can be mixed with the Gold 4 shade, further expanding the creative and technical possibilities during practice.

The even texture ensures homogeneous color distribution on synthetic practice materials, making it easier to control shading, saturation, and color transitions.
