This color wheel was made with three colors plus white in 1996.
The three colors used to make this color circle were,
Bocour Cobalt Violet, a cool transparent magenta, a warmer magenta is Acra Violet in acrylics and D.S has Quinacridone magenta.
Bocour's cobalt violet makes Ult. Blue so well you can do without it.
Grumbacher Thalo Blue
Old Holland Gamboge
Today, 10-30-04, ten years later, the Pigment Color Index Number is important but I think the system need some renovation.
Here is today's pigment choices for the primary triad.
Primary transparent triad Indian Yellow PG10F duel-toned orange/side and Indian Yellow PY153 as the brown/side,
both dioxine nickel complex.
Magenta Quinacridone PR122
Cyan Phthalocyanine PB15.3 or 4
I'll be.. the same pigments :) Except there is no more Cobalt Phosphate pigment.
The three colors used to make this color chart were,
Old Holland Gamboge
Grumbacher Thalo Blue
Danial Smith or Old Holland Magenta, dioxotetrahydroquinolinoacridine
is quinacradine PR122
Made by my friend Scott,
he also uses no black pigment.
As you can see, he doesn't need to.
How to make neutral dark colors?
How to mix new colors with a limited palette. These are acrylic paints.
Column 1 down. Cad Red Med. plus Thalo Blue. NEUTRAL
Column 1 down, Cad Red Light plus Thalo Blue.
Column 1 down, Burnt Sienna plus Thalo Blue
Column 2 down, Thalo Green plus Magenta. NEUTRAL
Column 2 Thalo Blue plus Cad Red. NEUTRAL
Column 2 Thalo Blue plus Cad Red making neutral gray again
Column 3, Ult. Blue plus Burnt Sienna. = Burnt Umber
Column 3, Ult Blue plus Burnt Umber. NEUTRAL
Column 4, Dioxazine. Purple plus Green Oxide. NEUTRAL
Column 4, Thalo Blue plus Red Oxide. NEUTRAL
No Image, Ultramarine Blue plus Red Oxide. NEUTRAL
Expand the palette without adding new tube colors.
Three transparent Oil Yellows.
Old Holland Yellow Orange Lake Extra, makes a fine Cad Red hue with Magenta
(oil) or Acra Crimson (acrylic).
Old Holland Yellow Brown Lake Extra, makes a fine Dark with Ult. Blue
Old Holland Gamboge Lake Extra, Gamboge is a translucent pigment between the
two.
How do you make a Cad Medium Deep, blood Red deep?
Cad Red Medium and Magenta.
If I had only 6 oil colors to paint with, let it be these 6.
Gamboge
Cad Yellow Light
Cad Orange Medium
Cad Red Light
Quinacridone Magenta, PR122
Thalo Blue, PB15.3, Some brands just call this color PB15, New 3-15-8, Old Holland makes a transparent Manganese blue PB33
Then Ultramarine Blue, Purple, Thalo Green, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna
These are the reds and oranges that are new in acrylics for 2000
It's all about the hue and it's transparency or opaqueness.
Manganese is the densest cyan opaque, denser then cerulean. Old Holland made a transparent cyan in 2008 that is excellent. Copper can match the rest of the sky. But it's more than that. Copper includes green also and manganese doesn't. Copper can include the whole sky with three different hues. Opaque Manganese on the other hand is a one trick pony, that one trick being the perfect neutral cyan primary. The manganese blue hue being produced from phthalocyanine is being made more like a transparent cerulean, but even greener. The manganese pure dry pigment is spot on cyan. Opaque cerulean blue dry pigment is sightly on the magenta side in mass and green side as an undertone. This is why I want the transparent manganese blue in watercolor, acrylic and oil paint. O.H. has it only in oil for now 3-15-8. It has no dual-toned qualities, I don't need that in this case. Raul, on another forum said,
TIN OXIDE is black and fires white, mix tin oxide and cobalt oxide with heat and you get cerulean blue. You can get a similar blue by mixing and firing tin and copper chalcanthite with quartz sand like the Egyptians did, this made their highly prized frit colors, which they traded through the Phoenician's, ancient world wide. Since an atom was taken out of copper which made it possible to mix with a sulfur based color like flake white the horizon has widened. Now the transparent copper cyan has wider possibilities. The same pigment used to mix black can now be used to make a sky color. The sky color is three different colors, depending on how close it is to the zenith or the horizon. I'm happy making the bluer zenith color sky by adding a little purple or magenta PR122. It's the transparent horizon sky color I am searching the best pigment for. The transparent copper based Phthalocyanine with a Chlorinated Copper Phthalocyanine seems to be this color. I would also like it as an opaque pigment. Mixing an opaque white into copper it is one answer, but as Raul said, it's handling properties are not as strong as the full strength pigment. What is that element going to be.. Copper, tin and cobalt or manganese. Maybe it will be a mixture of all three. 2008 - It's transparent Manganate PB13 by Old Holland! |

I like D.S. pigments but don't agree with their choice of color wheel in this years (2006) color thoughts on their catalogs last page. Calling it a "Split Primary Palette",
they attempt to make yellow, red and blue the primary colors. Calling a warm magenta PV19 and Pyrrol Orange PO73 mixture a red primary is wrong. Calling a primary cyan
and blue mix primary blue is also wrong, it makes a dirty cobalt blue. It would be cleaner with cyan and magenta but never a primary color. As for mixing a transparent yellow
and translucent yellow to make a primary yellow, geez, how can they be so, whatever.
The transparent "New Gamboge" can be lightened with water or white to make a nice cad yellow hue and the Hansa yellow is cool but it is totally misrepresented in their
photograph of it. It is a cool yellow but not as cool as a nickel yellow or lead yellow. Don't let this palette into your brain, mix your colors using the correct primaries.
