Natural white is slightly warmer than white. What white tone you choose is entirely a matter of your personal taste. Generally speaking, you could say that a lighter white makes the colours of a work of art pop. A warmer paper tone provides softer contrasts.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 {\n  min-width: 40px;\n  min-height: 40px;\n  font-size: 20px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134:last-child {\n  margin-right: 0;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .icon-inner {\n  margin: 0px;\n  min-width: 40px;\n  min-height: 40px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .dt-hover-icon {\n  line-height: 40px;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134:before,\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134:after,\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .icon-inner:before,\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .icon-inner:after {\n  min-width: 100%;\n  min-height: 100%;\n  padding: inherit;\n  border-radius: inherit;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-border-on:before {\n  border-width: 0px;\n  border-style: solid;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-dashed.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-border-on:before {\n  border-style: dashed;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-dotted.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-border-on:before {\n  border-style: dotted;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-double.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-border-on:before {\n  border-style: double;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-border-on:after {\n  border-width: 0px;\n  border-style: solid;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-dashed.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-border-on:after {\n  border-style: dashed;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-dotted.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-border-on:after {\n  border-style: dotted;\n}\n.dt-icon-border-double.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-border-on:after {\n  border-style: double;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:hover {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:hover .soc-font-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:hover .soc-font-icon,\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:hover .soc-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:hover .soc-icon {\n  color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75);\n  background: none;\n}\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:not(:hover) .soc-font-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:not(:hover) .soc-font-icon,\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:not(:hover) .soc-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-on:not(:hover) .soc-icon,\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-off .soc-font-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-off .soc-font-icon,\n#page .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-off .soc-icon,\n#phantom .dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134.dt-icon-hover-off .soc-icon {\n  color: #ffffff;\n  background: none;\n}\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .soc-font-icon,\n.dt-shortcode-icon.icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 .soc-icon {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"dt-shortcode-icon-wrap  \"><span  class=\"anchor-link Defaults-star icon-03cbfa45ea6dab80b8e5878023c96134 dt-shortcode-icon dt-icon-bg-on dt-icon-border-on dt-icon-hover-border-on dt-icon-hover-on dt-icon-hover-bg-on  \" ><span class=\"icon-inner\"><i class=\"dt-regular-icon soc-icon Defaults-star\"><\/i><i class=\"dt-hover-icon soc-icon Defaults-star\"><\/i><span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW203272487 BCX1\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW203272487 BCX1\">Tip: Try different <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2 SCXW203272487 BCX1\">Hahnem\u00fchle<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW203272487 BCX1\"> watercolour papers in different grammages, textures, white tones and surfaces!
