This year, Caran d’Ache is launching the new Gouache Eco line, which features a balanced palette of 18 colors, including 4 neon shades. The gouache, completely made in Switzerland, consists of 80% natural ingredients (excluding neon colors), is ready to use, and is suitable for art classes in schools as well as for home use. The ultra-bright colors dry to a matte and opaque finish and have high coverage. Therefore, Caran d’Ache's Gouache Eco is extremely economical to use (500 ml = 2.5 l). With the new bottle, which contains 30% less plastic, the color concentrate takes environmental considerations into account for modern, high-quality teaching. It is a ready-to-use, water-soluble paint. It dries to an intense matte and opaque finish. The ultra-bright colors can be mixed to create new shades. It has a thick, soft consistency, making it easy to apply; it also has very high lightfastness. The high pigment concentration and good coverage ensure economical use. Additionally, the new Gouache Eco bottles are made from PET. The packaging is made from recycled cardboard sourced from Switzerland.
