一種透明的水性顏料，通常以磨碎的顏料混合水及阿拉伯膠而成。由植物性樹膠黏接劑製成的水性顏料，過去為埃及、希臘及羅馬的壁畫家所使用；而日本與中國畫家則大量在絲板及細緻紙捲軸上使用水彩顏料。十六至十八世紀期間，水彩顏料則用於瓷器、象牙製品、卡片、書籍和手稿上的微型插圖。到了十八世紀末十九世紀初，因為能自金屬盤中取得小塊水彩顏料，水彩因而迅速流行，通常用刷子塗抹至紙架上。

英文....	A transparent aqueous based paint produced by mixing ground pigments with water and, generally, gum arabic. Aqueous based paints made with vegetable gum binders were used by Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artists for wall paintings. Japanese and Chinese painters extensively used watercolor paints on silk panels and delicate paper scrolls. In the 16th through18th century, watercolor paints were used for miniature illustrations on porcelain, ivory, cards, books and manuscripts. By the 18th and early 19th centuries, watercolors rapidly increased in popularity due to the availability of small cakes of watercolor paints in metal pans, usually applied to a paper support by using a brush.
