Color as the Origin.
A color system built on materials, formulas, production processes, observations, documentation, and a color collection.
VHaquarell develops and produces colors. Every color has its own formula and is produced according to the properties of its materials.
Color development and production are carried out by hand in the studio in Germany. Every color is filled in multiple layers. The raised surface structure is built up gradually during this process.
Every color passes through multiple production stages. Mixing, grinding, resting, drying, and curing form the production process. Production time varies from one color to another.
During production, colors are observed and compared. Material behavior, color changes, and individual production stages are documented.
After production is complete, the colors become part of the VHaquarell Color Collection. The Color Collection includes single colors, color combinations, and color sets.
