You can get some gorgeous purples without spending the money on gold! All colors are enriched and some are changed.

1442 bejewels transparent colors! The small top sample shows the 1442 layers over the color shown below.
1442 enriches opals! The center fused sample shows the 1442 layered over the opal color next to it.
This even works with 1442 powder! This is a plate made with squares of 142, 301, 421 & 334 with 1442 Neo-Lavender Shift Transparent Powder sifted on top. The samples sitting on the plate show the colors underneath the powdered layer.
