Pigment Description
All that glisters is not [truly] gold. Iridescent Pale Gold is light, warm, orange-yellow, metallic effect pigment. Unlike other traditional gold leafing paints that will oxidize and discolour with time, Tri-Art's Iridescent Pale Gold is made from mica pigments that will indefinitely retain their luster. Use Iridescent Pale Gold as a liquid alternative for gold leafing that can be applied to nearly any surface.

I have been using Tri-Art Napthol Red for a few weeks and find that it compares with Golden and Liquites Acrylics and is more inexpensive.
Beautiful for textured work
It’s a great highlight colour. Bright and covers well. When I need a hit of sunlight, CAD Orange is it.
I have so far used it just for toning my canvas and it works really well with a small amount of paint.
I have used Tri-art before in the limited quantities and colours at my local Art Supply Store and found hem to be as good as Golden Paints which I have used for several years. In fact, I was one of the first buyers of Golden in New York when the founder Harry sold them out of his trunk in Soho and then at a few Art Supply Stores. Now living in Canada, the price differential has been a factor for me looking for a less expensive substitute. So far the colour I have bought closely match the characteristics of Golden; the opacity and brilliance seems the same. The Cadmium Red Medium from Sri- Art is both brighter and as opaque as the Golden. I still have some paint in a 16Oz. Jar from Golden and have tested next to the Tri-Art. I like the results.
