Stardust - No. 271

Starlight Beige is the quiet, expensive friend in your palette. The one who doesn’t raise their voice, but somehow still gets everyone to look.

At first glance it’s a soft, muted beige, the kind of color that feels like warm fabric, sand, and old book pages. But then the light hits it and you realize it is wearing gold. Not in a “Vegas glitter cannon” way. More like “I woke up like this” shimmer.

It’s perfect for backgrounds when you want warmth without stealing the spotlight, and it’s ridiculously good for texture. Use it on buildings, pottery, skin tones, paper effects, dunes, linen, stone, and all the places where you normally struggle to make beige interesting. This one does the work for you, without being annoying about it.

And if you like details, try it as a final layer on top of other colors. Suddenly your painting looks like it has a secret. Like you planned it. Like you are a serious person with a serious artistic vision. Even if you were just playing around in sweatpants.

The gold glitter mica gives it that subtle glowing finish, like starlight caught in dust. Calm. Warm. Slightly fancy. And very hard to stop using once you’ve tried it.

Lightfastness 6/6 (Excellent)
