Wallace Seymour Vintage Watercolours Series C is the premium tier of the range, priced at £10.10 per tube, and where the collection becomes genuinely extraordinary. Series C includes some of the most unusual watercolour pigments available anywhere — genuine mineral colours sourced from specific geological locations, cadmium pigments of exceptional purity, a full range of iridescent nacre pigments, and an extensive selection of fluorescent colours that have no equivalent in mainstream ranges.
Many Series C colours carry names rooted in place — Torridon Sandstone, Scottish Red Granite, Moughton Whetstone, Hardraw Scaur — pigments derived from British geology and ground to capture the specific optical qualities of the original material. These are not novelty colours. They are serious artist pigments that behave with the same reliability and transparency as the rest of the Wallace Seymour range, whilst offering a palette unavailable from any other manufacturer.
The nacre and fluorescent ranges Series C includes an extensive range of nacre pigments — pearlescent watercolours in gold, silver, bronze, copper, and iridescent variations — alongside a complete set of fluorescent colours for artists working in illustration, mixed media, or contemporary painting. Both groups integrate naturally with the rest of the Wallace Seymour palette.
Who is Series C for? Series C is for serious watercolourists who want access to pigments unavailable elsewhere — particularly those drawn to geological colours, granulating minerals, cadmium pigments, or iridescent and fluorescent effects.
