Explanations of the signs degree of lightfastness opacity PB15/PB29 = pigments used

from left to right +++ = at least 100 years lightfast under museum conditions = transparent
Example: ++ = 25 - 100 years lightfast under museum conditions = semi-transparent
Turquoise green + = 10 - 25 years lightfast under museum conditions = semi-opaque G = Granulating colours (7 colours which give
o
= 0 - 10 years lightfast under museum conditions = opaque
