Oil Colors have been used in various forms since the 15th Century. The popularity of oil color can be attributed to its extraordinary versatility, offering the artist excellent results from the traditional techniques of blending and glazing, impasto and scumbling. Winsor & Newton began making oil colors in 1832, swiftly developing and subsequently maintaining a reputation for excellence and consistency. Today, the Artists' Oil Color range of colors offers the widest color spectrum, the highest level of pigmentation consistent with good handling properties.
The colors of the range are selected according to masstone (color from tube), undertone (bias of color when in a thin film), strength and relative opacity. The resultant color spectrum ensures that Artists' Oil Colours offer all artists a palette which suits their work.Due to variance in the display of color across different monitor types, color chips may not be an exact match.
