More colour, more control

Until now, dot painting has largely been defined by black. With the introduction of gold and blue, you now have more flexibility in how your artwork develops.

✔ Clean, consistent ink flow

✔ Colours that hold their depth on canvas

✔ Precise tips designed for controlled placement

✔ Works seamlessly alongside existing designs

How the rollout works

The new colours are being introduced gradually across all products.

All new designs already include gold and blue alongside black. Existing designs are being updated in stages.

If a colour is not yet visible on a product, check back shortly. Updates are rolling out continuously.

Why it matters

More colour changes the result. It allows for stronger contrast, more depth, and a finish that feels closer to a complete piece of artwork rather than a simple pattern.

This is not about adding features. It is about improving the final result.

How to use each colour

Gold adds highlights and warmth, bringing attention to key details.

Blue adds depth to shadows, sky and background elements.

Black defines structure and keeps the image clear and balanced.

Getting started

  1. Begin with black to establish structure
  2. Introduce blue gradually to build depth
  3. Use gold last to highlight key areas
