Overview
A single 14ml tube of Winsor & Newton Designers' Gouache in Permanent White, an opaque, matte watercolor used by illustrators and designers for flat, even coverage rather than transparent washes.
Gouache differs from regular watercolor mainly in opacity: this white carries an A permanence rating and an ASTM I lightfastness score, the top rating on that scale, so color should hold under normal display conditions. It is sold as color code 512 in the Series 1 range, Winsor & Newton's standard pricing tier rather than a premium series.
- 14ml tube, Permanent White
- Opaque, matte finish
- Permanence rating A
- ASTM I lightfastness
Who it's for
Fits illustrators, designers and commercial artists who need an opaque, flat white for mixing tints, correcting layouts or covering other colors. Not the product for anyone wanting a transparent watercolor white, since gouache is opaque by design.
Pros and cons
- Opaque, flat matte coverage in one layer
- ASTM I lightfastness, the top fade-resistance rating
- Standard Series 1 pricing tier
- Single 14ml tube, small for large-format work
- Opaque only, not suited to transparent watercolor techniques
Performance notes
The pigment gives full opacity in a single layer, with a matte finish rather than the sheen of acrylic white. The ASTM I lightfastness rating means it resists fading under normal gallery or display lighting better than lower-rated pigments.
