Description

Davy's Grey (P.Bk 7 / P.W 6 / P.G 17) is a soft, muted grey watercolour with a subtle greenish undertone, offering an earthy alternative to traditional greys or blacks. Composed of **Carbon Black** (P.Bk 7), **Titanium Dioxide** (P.W 6), and **Chromium Oxide Green** (P.G 17), Davy’s Grey is the ideal pigment for capturing atmospheric effects, soft shadows, and natural tones in both landscapes and urban scenes.

This **opaque** pigment produces smooth, even washes, ranging from a pale grey when diluted to a medium, soft grey when applied full strength. The unique greenish tint gives it a gentle, organic character, making it perfect for painting misty skies, foliage, and subtle shadows. Davy’s Grey works beautifully to tone down brighter colors, creating harmonious, muted palettes, and adding depth without the harshness of darker greys or blacks.

With **excellent lightfastness**, Davy’s Grey maintains its soft, neutral quality over time, ensuring that your artwork retains its subtlety. It mixes well with other pigments, especially greens, blues, and browns, to create a balanced, earthy range of tones. Whether you're creating landscapes, still lifes, or atmospheric effects, **Davy's Grey** is the perfect choice for adding refined, natural shading and atmosphere to your watercolour paintings.
