AERO COLOR® Professional and AERO COLOR® Professional TOTAL COVER 

AERO COLOR® Professional are highly lightfast and brilliant liquid acrylic colours by Schmincke, which are ideal for use with retouching pens, dip-pens and brushes for different mixing techniques, such as watercolour technique, mixed media with other Schmincke acrylic colours and mediums, etc.   

AERO COLOR® Professional are characterised by their ideal application qualities: They have a pleasant odour, are easy to work, durable and can be applied to almost all grease-free surfaces. All colours are ready to use and can be used undiluted due to the finest pigmentation. If required, they can also be diluted with AERO MEDIUM (50602) or with distilled water (up to 20%). Many of the colours are single-pigment tones that guarantee brilliant mixing results and an unlimited variety of shades. All colours have the highest lightfastness (4 or 5 stars only) for particular stability. 

Many of the bright colours are transparent. The three BASIS colours, BASIS yellow, BASIS magenta and BASIS cyan offer ideal mixing results, e.g. for a neutral grey and many brilliant intermediate shades. 

The 12 TOTAL COVER colours provide the perfect complement to provide cover to the existing AERO COLOR® Professional range: The semi-gloss and extremely lightfast colours in well-balanced tones also provide total cover on dark shades due to a special pigmentation. They can be mixed and combined with each other as well with all existing colours of AERO COLOR® Professional range.
