Titanium White (In Safflower): Titanium dioxide has twice the covering power of lead white while remaining highly stable and lightfast. We used a light-colored, non-yellowing safflower oil as the binder for this pale color.

Cadmium Yellow Light: Use this lively, bright Cadmium Yellow to paint a yellow canary or a bright yellow buttercup. The Cadmium Sulphide in this paint makes it one of the strongest and most vibrant yellows with the highest degree of lightfastness.

Mars Yellow: Mars Yellow is an intense ochre yellow with a warm mustard tone. In the eighteenth century, it was known as jaune de Mars and has continued to be a popular Iron Oxide pigment. Finely ground pigments give this yellow a rich, deep intensity.

Indian Yellow Pastiche: Genuine Indian Yellow was made in the past by feeding cows a restricted diet of mango leaves and water. The bright yellow cow urine was boiled into a syrup before being dried. Our Indian Yellow Pastiche has a warm rusty red undertone even though no cows were involved! The word pastiche indicates that this color is imitating the style and look of traditional Indian Yellow.

Alizarin Crimson: Alizarin and other Madder Lake colors have been derived from the roots of the Madder plant since the beginning of time. Archeologists have found cloth dyed with the Madder root in Tutankhamun's tomb. This Alizarin is slightly more red-purple than orange-red.

Transparent Red Oxide: This is a very dominant, strong Red Iron Oxide. Thick applications have a rusty red-brown tone. Thin or use as a glaze to show off the transparency of this oxide.

Green Gold: Green Gold is an earthy, muted green perfect for adding warmth and depth to any scene. The color has a gritty truth and gravitas that can't be found in other greens. It's a must-have for landscape painters.

Wellington Vert Noir: Wellington Vert Noir is the brainchild of artist John Wellington and was crafted specifically for Tusc & Pine. Drawing inspiration from the techniques of the old masters, John sought to create a natural green ideal for landscapes straight from the tube. With over two decades of experience as a traditional painting instructor at The New York Academy of Art, John's expertise shines through in his meticulously crafted hues.

Sap Green: This dynamic green is ideal for painting leaves and grasses. Sap Green recalls springtime and plants sprouting from the ground. With each stroke, the color promises warmer days and the beauty of nature.

Cinnabar Green Light: Use this bright yellow-green to paint the shoots of a seedling sprouting from the ground or sunlight streaming through a canopy of leaves. In the past, vermillion was used to make this color. Artists called it cinnabar because sulfur and mercury are found inside cinnabar. The old name stuck even though cinnabar is traditionally a red color.

King's Blue Light: As light as a Carolina blue sky on a spring day, this light ultramarine is brimming with possibilities. Use it to paint Forget Me Nots or a bird's egg.

Prussian Blue: This regal royal blue was discovered in 1704 when a freak accident contaminated a chemist's experiment. Prussian Blue has powerful tinting strength but is clean and vivid when applied as a glaze. The iron in Prussian Blue causes the color to dry slightly faster than other blues.

Phthalo Turquoise: A deep watering hole on a deserted island would have the jewel-like transitions of Phthalo Turquoise. This color is for any artist who wants to paint the soul of a water nymph.

Raw Umber Cool: Italian treatises from the 16th century are the first to mention umber as a type of brown earth. Raw umber most likely comes from ombra, the Italian word for shadow. This umber has a cool, relaxed tone compared to Raw Umber Warm.

Appalachia Brown Oxide: As its name suggests, Red Iron Oxide from the soil of the Blue Ridge Mountains is used to make Appalachia Brown Oxide. Interestingly, Red Iron Oxide was called "bloodstone" in ancient Greece because of its blood-red color. The color closely resembles the signature red clay of North Carolina.
