MAGENTA—Blockx—a cool dark reddish purple color, the Blockx colors use only pure pigment for maximum lightfastness, buttery consistency and easy mixing on the canvas. ALIZARIN CRIMSON—Vasari—a deep transparent cool red. TRANSPARENT RED MEDIUM—Rembrandt—a transparent warm red. BRILLIANT PINK—Michael Harding—a cheeky, fruity, luminous pink, which has intense presence. VERMILLION EXTRA—Old Holland —a vivid bright, happy red. PERMANENT ROSE—Winsor & Newton —a bright rose violet color, a transparent color that sings! TRANSPARENT ORANGE—Rembrandt—a transparent warm orange. MONTSERRAT ORANGE —Williamsburg—one of those mysterious colors that could feel like pale, warm apricot, or in the right light, have a rosy, pink glow. INDIAN YELLOW—Vasari —a warm transparent modern pigment, is excellent for mixing strength and lightfastness. The intensely pigmented Indian Yellow will not fade and can be used for glazing or to hold the value of dark mixtures, facilitating the mixing of deep greens or oranges, while adding a rich warmth. CADMIUM LEMON—Gamblin—this is the coolest shade of cadmium yellow. CADMIUM YELLOW MEDIUM—Williamsburg—a most popular yellow... strong and warm. kimsmithfineart Lancaster, PA kimmyerssmith [email protected] kmyerssmithart KiM SMiTH | fine artist kimmyerssmith.com let’s connect! kimsmithfineart CELADON GREEN DEEP —Charvin—a warm yellowish green, plays well with other colors but also beautiful on it’s own.
