Neutral Grays allow artists to adjust the value and chroma of any color without altering its base tone. The three Neutral Grays in this set range from number 3 (darkest) to number 7 (lightest). Along with Titanium White and Ivory Black, they produce balanced value gradations for color mixing and the creation of tonal grisaille paintings. Color can then be glazed on top of the value study in full strength or desaturated with gray.

Neutral Gray 7: Seven is the lightest of the Neutral Grays and is reminiscent of overcast skies. It has a calming influence and is ready to let other bolder colors shine.

Neutral Gray 5: Neutral Gray 5 is the perfect midtone gray for balancing light and dark. Use it straight from the tube to neutralize and ground intensely bright colors.

Neutral Gray 3: Neutral Gray 3 is the boldest of the Neutral Grays. Its darker tone is perfect for adding depth and contrast to your paintings. Use it straight out of the tube to balance and ground brighter colors.

Lamp Black: More than 4,000 years ago, Egyptians used this warm blue-black pigment to paint tombs and murals. Traditionally, Lamp Black is made by collecting soot from oil lamps. We still make the pigment by burning oil, but the oil is generated in a clean and controlled process that eliminates impurities.

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.
