Description

Neutral Tint (P.Bk 6, P.B 15, P.R 122) is a versatile, balanced grey watercolour pigment created from a blend of Lamp Black (P.Bk 6), Phthalocyanine Blue (P.B 15), and Quinacridone Magenta (P.R 122). This pigment offers a cool, neutral grey that can be used to deepen and tone down colours without shifting their hue. It is the perfect choice for artists who need a neutral tint that adds shadows and depth while maintaining the integrity of other colours in their compositions.

With its semi-transparent nature, Neutral Tint creates smooth, even washes that can range from deep, intense shadows to light, atmospheric veils. At full strength, it delivers a cool grey with a subtle bluish undertone, ideal for darkening areas without introducing the starkness of pure black. When diluted, it transforms into soft, transparent greys that are perfect for glazing, toning, or shading, offering endless possibilities for tonal control.

Known for its excellent lightfastness, Neutral Tint maintains its cool, neutral character over time, making it a reliable choice for creating depth and dimension in watercolour paintings. It mixes seamlessly with other colours, enhancing their value without overpowering their original hues. Whether you're working on landscapes, portraits, or still lifes, Neutral Tint is an essential pigment for artists looking to control contrast, value, and mood in their compositions.
