iridescent gold
Modern pearlescent pigments are made from
powdered mica that has been bonded with metal oxides. Mica is a type of
natural quartz, which occurs in the form of compressed thin sheets or
plates that divide easily.
Iridescent gold blended with earth tones such as the siennas make copper/bronze
colours.
