World-Class Matte Color with Unmatched Pigment Power

Turner Acryl Gouache from Japan is celebrated globally for its intense pigmentation, fast drying time, and flawless matte finish. Free from heavy metals and formulated with minimal binder, these paints exhibit almost no color shift from wet to dry—delivering consistently brilliant results that remain vivid even after drying. Known for their rich ultra black and super opaque white, Turner’s range also includes historic Japanese tones and pearlescent and pastel shades that bring subtle elegance and contemporary flair to any composition.

These paints spread smoothly, adhere to a wide variety of surfaces including panels, wood, boards, and paper, and are water-resistant once dry. While the finish is not fully permanent, artists can seal their work with Krylon Archival sprays or Turner’s own Gloss Varnish for added protection and finish variety. Favored by professional artists, illustrators, and designers around the world, Turner Acryl Gouache remains the gold standard for those seeking opaque, matte perfection with a touch of cultural heritage and modern performance.
