Paynes Grey (No. 127)

£8.00

Inorganic – Payne’s Grey is a blend of Ivory Black, Ultramarine, and Iron Oxide Yellow that produces a markedly cool black substitute. The blue undertones are similar to but much milder than those of Prussian Blue. Some painters prefer this blend for its restrained tint power and use it in cool reflex tones in flesh painting.
