Opaque, Translucent, And Regular Color?

Recommended Posts

Opaque colors suspend pigment in a solid base. Transparent colors suspend pigment in a clear base. In practice, there is overlap between the two. A light spray of opaque will show the color underneath it, but not as much as a light spray of transparent. On the other hand, a heavy spray of transparent will cover an underlying color as well as a medium spray of opaque. I tend to use opaques for my base colors like white, neon yellow, and black, and transparent for everything else, which I sometimes want to layer for intermediate color effects.
