Pearl White
Pearlescent foil from CHENHUI's Pigment line. Opaque flat colour, value line — plus the clear gloss pass that carries no colourant at all.
- Tone-on-tone on light stock
- Subtle shimmer
The colour shown is an on-screen approximation. Foil reflects its surroundings and has no fixed RGB value — samples before you commit.

What it's like to run
- Opacity on the white is one hit on smooth dark stock, two on heavily textured — which is where we switch to a premium domestic pigment.
- Matte blush is Chenhui 133-5 on the mill's own numbering. Tone on tone it reads as a texture change before it reads as a colour, so give it a mark with some mass — a hairline disappears.
- Clear gloss carries no pigment. It only reads against a matte ground, and it reads by angle rather than by colour, so it wants an area — not a hairline.
