Rider-Waite Tarot Cards
✔ Traditional edition recolored "Vivid Edition"
✔ Equally delicate coloring, with brighter and more saturated tones
The Rider-Waite Tarot Cards in color were first recolored in 2003, featuring equally exquisite and delicate coloring, but with brighter, more vivid, and richer, more saturated tones than the standard edition. The original name of this edition is "Radiant," meaning bright and glowing, so it is also translated as the "Bright Color Edition," which more accurately conveys the bright and vivid feel of the cards.
The updated artwork replaces Smith's thick black outlines with subtle shadows, adding depth to the familiar scenes.
