May 2020

Clear and fresh, our formulation of the month May takes us high up into the mountains to the top of the world where the sky kisses the earth. The deep mountain lake catches the terrific blue and creates multifaceted heavenly reflections on the water's surface. A view which leaves you breathless.

Pigmentation

The PWC (Pigment Weight Concentration) in the dry film is indicated for each styling

PWC = p / (p + b)

p = total weight pigments (solid)

b = weight binder (solid)

In the dry state: Pigment / binder ratio = (Σ Pigment) / (Total solid content (wet form) – (Σ Pigment)) 

Feasibility for on-line application

The stylings in our color inspirations are intended to demonstrate future effect color directions and possibilities. Although we have tried to make the formulations as realistic as possible, we cannot guarantee their full feasibility for on-line application. A certain degree of modification and fine tuning will probably be necessary.

The image of the styling may look different on every screen. It is just an inspiration.
