Description

Payne's Blue Grey is a beautifully balanced, cool-toned watercolour that combines the deep indigo of Indanthrone Blue (P.B 60) with the richness of Lamp Black (P.Bk 6). The result is a soft, muted blue-grey, perfect for capturing the subtle nuances of stormy skies, shadows, and atmospheric landscapes. This versatile pigment is an essential tool for artists seeking a go-to colour for shading, cool neutrals, and nuanced effects.

Known for its smooth, semi-transparent washes, Payne's Blue Grey can range from deep, dark tones to delicate, misty greys. When used full strength, it provides a deep blue-black hue ideal for storm clouds, ocean depths, or dramatic shadows. When diluted, it transforms into soft, transparent washes that are perfect for creating atmospheric effects and subtle shading in your watercolour paintings.

Payne's Blue Grey is prized for its excellent lightfastness, ensuring the colour remains true over time. It blends seamlessly with other pigments, enhancing blues, greens, and earth tones without overpowering them. Whether you're painting landscapes, seascapes, or any work requiring cool, neutral hues or dramatic shading, Payne's Blue Grey will bring depth, elegance, and timeless beauty to your compositions.
