PIGMENT DENSITY
GOLDEN Artist Colors
Approximate density for pigments used in Golden Artist Colors'
Heavy Body, Fluids, High Flow and OPEN Acrylics. The density is
expressed in terms of Specific Gravity, or the ratio of the density
of the pigment to the density of water. For example: a pigment
with a Specific Gravity of 2 would be twice as dense as water.
