Iron oxides yield muted reds, yellows and browns, and carbon makes strong blacks.
During the Industrial Revolution inorganic pigments became available. These compounds of minerals gave artists cobalts, cadmiums and manganese colors. Modern organic pigments include the quinacridones, pthalo, hansa, napthol and perylene colors. These pigments are often much stronger, less expensive and more lightfast than the mineral colors. For twenty years, Gamblin has invested in the best quality production machinery that transforms the finest quality pigments and oils into luscious, rich artist's colors.
