This is not a bottle of paint. It is dry gouache powder, and that changes everything about how you buy and use it. Loose pigment brushed onto paper will dust straight off once dry — the powder has to be bound before it becomes paint. Mixed with water alone it will colour a surface but stay fragile; mixed with a binder it behaves like ordinary gouache and stays put.

That is why this page points at another product rather than pretending the bottle is complete on its own. We stock UD Binder at Rs. 160 for 120 ml, which is the inexpensive local binder art rooms across Pakistan use for exactly this job. Powder plus binder is the traditional way fluorescent colour gets mixed for banners, stage work and display boards, and it is why the powder is sold in a bottle rather than a tube.

The bottles are small, with black screw caps, and the label prints ST GOUACHE POWDER above the words ECONOMICAL, EASY TO USE, MULTI-PURPOSE and WATERPROOF. Underneath sit the markings CE, EN 71/3, NON-TOXIC and ASTM D-4236. We are quoting the label — those are the manufacturer's own declarations rather than claims of ours. What the label does not show legibly in our photographs is a net weight, so we are not going to print one; ask on WhatsApp and we will weigh a bottle before you order.

ST's own colour chart, photographed with the range, shows twenty-two shades — thirteen basic colours numbered 601 to 613, from Titanium White and Carbon Black through Burnt Umber, Scarlet Red, Vermilion, Orange, Yellow Ochre, Yellow, Light Green, Green, Blue Lake, Ultramarine and Violet, and nine fluorescents numbered 614 to 622. Six fluorescent shades are on our price list today at Rs. 350 each: blue, green, pink, red, violet and yellow. The rest of the chart is the maker's range, not our stock, so treat those as not currently orderable and ask if you need one.

Fluorescents are the reason most people buy powder rather than a tube. Ready-mixed fluorescent gouache and poster colour carry a premium — our Sakura fluorescent poster colours are Rs. 650 for a 30 ml jar — while a bottle of powder plus a Rs. 160 binder makes as much paint as your mixing allows. The trade is that you are doing the mixing, and consistency between batches is on you rather than on the factory.

It suits older students, sign painters and display workers from about 12 years up, working in a ventilated space — dry pigment powder is easily airborne, so mix it carefully and keep it away from small children. The Safencia price is Rs. 350 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Stock, the shade you want, your city, and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
