Lisi uses colors like Crystal Gold, -Silver, -Rose for more than two years and could not see any change in her pictures over time, even on locations exposed to the sun (that is where metallic watercolors shine the most at the end :)). However since we are continously looking for new pigments from different suppliers creating a wider spectrum of shades, we can't confirm that all pigments are lightfast.

Holo is short for holographic and means i did add pigments which are reflecting/ scattering the entire range of colors in the visible light.

The crystal colors contain the color pigments exlusively.

For example: Crystal gold has a beautiful golden sparke. Holo Gold however sparkles in gold and with rainbow effect.
