How can I tell if a Messy Color is a transparent, opaque, opal, or moonstone?
Messy Color formulae can be divided into four categories: Transparents Opaques (Effetre calls these “pastels”) Opals (similar to Effetre’s “opalinos” or “alabasters”) Moonstones Messy moonstones are Cirrus, Halong Bay, and Peacock Green. The formulae and working properties for these three are different and distinct enough that we cannot lump them into the other categories. We make a note of whether each color is a transparent, opaque, opal, or moonstone in the description for each color.
