Favored by the French Impressionists. The original, no longer made, was arsenic based and very toxic. This is a mix of cadmium yellow, phthalo green, and white. Excellent for toning down bright colors and for giving shadow effect. Made from natural earth, viridian, and ultramarine blue.
Top tone is a rich caramel.
Beautiful interplay of tones comes through in laying on a stroke of paint. Beautiful washes go easily from strong to delicate. Makes almost neutral grey tints. Like a brackish Raw Umber. Fiery pinkish-brown undertone.
