A bracket around a pencil number means you use that pencil lightly in
the colour mix.
White colours
As the colour and differences between colours are so subtle, the art
of mixing becomes very important when matching these colours. Dark colours
need to be used very softly and sparingly and overlaid by the pale colours.
Most colours have a large proportion of white in them. Best results
are achieved when colours are wet so that dilution can give the subtlety
required and an even effect can be more easily created.
Metallic chart colours
The reflective nature of the metallic effect makes it more difficult
to match the colours as they change with the light. As much as possible
view all colour matches under the same light and at the same angle to
the light. Metallics should be put on as per flat colours - dark to
light. i.e. Start away from the light source and work towards it. Metallic
pencils are those pencils numbered within the range 600-700.
