Watercolour Tube Rembrandt Chameleon Gold/Red/Violet 20 ml by Rembrandt

Rembrandt Watercolour Tube Chameleon Gold/Red/Violet 20 ml by Rembrandt is a professional watercolour paint that produces an iridescent, colour-shifting effect. Formulated for transparent glazing, washes and layered techniques, this 20 ml tube delivers a luminous sheen that shifts between gold, red and violet depending on viewing angle and light. The paint is intended for use with water, brushes and suitable watercolour paper and can be combined with other transparent watercolours and mixed-media materials to add shimmering accents and subtle colour transitions.

Advantages

This chameleon watercolour provides a stable, light-reflective finish that enhances highlights and creates dynamic colour shifts without compromising transparency. The 20 ml tube format is convenient for both studio and field use, allowing controlled dispensing and minimal waste. The paint mixes readily with transparent watercolours and supports glazing techniques, enabling artists to build layered effects and nuanced tonal variations while preserving underlying details.

Suitable for

• Fine art watercolour paintings requiring iridescent highlights
• Illustration and concept art where colour-shift effects are desired
• Mixed-media works combining transparent washes and metallic accents
• Accent details, glazing, and layered techniques on watercolour paper

Key specifications

• Form: watercolour in a 20 ml squeezable tube
• Effect: chameleon/iridescent shifting between gold, red and violet
• Transparency: transparent, suitable for glazing and washes
• Binder: water-based for use with brushes and water
• Suitable surfaces: watercolour paper and other absorbent, primed substrates

How to use

Shake or gently roll the tube before use if separation is noticeable, then squeeze a small amount onto a palette. Dilute with water to achieve washes or glazing layers, or apply more concentrated for stronger iridescent highlights. Use soft or synthetic brushes for smooth application and allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent glazes to preserve transparency and achieve controlled colour shifts. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the chameleon effect on the intended paper and lighting conditions prior to final application. Apply thin, even layers for glazing and allow full drying between layers to maximize the shifting gold/red/violet appearance. Combine with other transparent watercolours rather than opaque pigments to retain luminosity.
