Breathing Color Lyve Canvas
Lyve Canvas is a 19 mil bright white, consistent poly-cotton blend matte canvas using an acid-free neutral pH coating. Unlike most fine art canvas on the market, Lyve utilises Breathing Color’s “Chromata White” technology to deliver a bright white surface free of optical brightening agents, together with an exceptional colour gamut and deep blacks.
We’ve tried virtually every canvas on the market, and Breathing Color Lyve provides the highest quality and most stable canvas platform for fine art and photographic works without the metamerism or color shift issues inherent in other canvases.
