Created for colourists and painters working with the colour systems WAVE 2.0 and SPECTRAL BASE 2.0.

The guide provides basic information on:

  • colour perception,
  • types of colour,

The guide contains a lot of useful information for the everyday work of the colourist and painter:

  • How to read pigment descriptions?
  • Which pigment is characterised as a good hiding power and which is transparent?
  • What is the difference between 'cornflake' aluminium and 'silver dollar' aluminium? What does it affect and how?
  • What are the characteristics of special pigments (e.g. Pyrisma, Xirallic)?
  • How to correct recipes to get the colour you want?
  • Finally, how do you carry out a colour evaluation and under which conditions should this be done?

Guide in figures:

  • 335 pages,
  • more than 100 pigments discussed,
  • 10 examples of specific colour corrections ,
  • and much more interesting information.

We share the many years of experience of colourists working in NOVOL's Training Department.
