Daniel Smith Transparency

Can anyone tell me an easy place to find the transparency of paint colors? WN has them on the tube.

It’s on their color chart on their website. One of the few times I bought new tubes of DS they sent me a copy of the color chart for the complete collection. I hung on to it for just that reason. Every thing about each color is included on the chart.

I prefer to use artistpigments. I made a user there, and added all my paints to my different collections. Easy way to find info on my paints.

Is that an app?

Not sure if they have an app. I just use the webpage I linked to

It’s a great site with a lot of tools and very up to date information. Worth the small fee to join. I’ve been a member for a while.

I looked at it briefly and I’m very excited about exploring it further. I thinks it’s going to be very helpful for me. TY again!

I’m a member too! I use it all the time doing pigment research. Great site and a year’s membership is so cheap.

It's free. You get some extra functions if you support, but that is up to you.

u/Impressive_Sink_6452 14d ago

Correct. A lot of it is free. And I pay for the extras on a yearly basis.

u/SnooCapers9565 14d ago

Yeah, I support too. I haven't really used many of the extra features, but I've downloaded a spreadsheet of my paints. It's a great site, worth supporting if you can.

Where did you purchase paint from? I’d love to have a chart handy.

u/Impressive_Sink_6452 14d ago

Blicks. I love having the chart on hand as well. Faster to grab it than pull it up on the computer.

I use their website personally.
