Dusty Mauve is a beautiful mauve (purple-brown-pink) that leans a bit more pink. It has a vintage feel to it. For best use, pre-wet your watercolor with a drop or two of water, wait around a minute, and then swirl the paint into your brush. Make sure to let your watercolor pans dry completely before storing them. Do NOT ingest or use it to paint your skin. The pans are small and should be kept away from children and pets. Colors may differ from real life due to monitor settings.
