Mixing colors off a full palette, limited palette, 3 color transparent primary palette
This oil 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 PR:122 many
paint manufactures now make quinacridone PR:122.
Bocour's cobalt violet makes Ult. Blue so well you can do without it. Too bad Bocour
and cobalt violet transparent are no more.
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 needs some renovation. It's based on the wrong primary colors. The
three primary colors are:
Old Holland Indian Yellow PY153
Grumbacher Thalo Blue PB15.3
Old Holland Magenta, dioxotetrahydroquinolinoacridine called quinacradine or
quinacridone PR122
1-27-08, I'm a little late on this update, I think it was in 2005 when a new color came out
that is a perfect magenta, except it's a little fugitive. About like the old alizarin crimson
or better.
It's called Opera, here's the linkOpera and Bright Rose pigments by ShinHan of Korea.
Opera magenta will make a perfect dark neutral added to green and the brightest red
and blue. Opera is not as dark as PR122. Opera color is not available in acrylic or oil
paints yet. 6-13-10.
Here are today's 7-13-9 pigment choices for the primary triad.
Old Holland, Primary transparent triad Indian Yellow PY153 duel-toned orange/side
nickel dioxine complex and PY150 as the brown/side, an azo nickel complex.
Old Holland, Magenta Quinacridone PR122
Old Holland, Cyan Phthalocyanine PB15.3
Today is 6/13/10. It is now 4:38 PM, fourteen years after I started looking for the true
primary colors in pigment. Today I have 50" Roland plotter and use my own
home-made transparent yellow ink to print the official Real Color Wheel. Tartrazine Azo
Yellow. PY100 or w/ a colon, PY:100. Transparent dual-toned yellow org/side.
This is an important new transparent clear Indian yellow pigment for the ink-jet giclee
printer, watercolorist, and fresco artist. Here it is in my transparent primary water color
palette. I use this little ceramic palette with a block-out opaque super white in the
center to turn any color opaque. I added some fresco white pigment. I mix my colors on
a butchers tray and can match any color in front of me. These three primary colors are
exactly the same primary colors in my giclee printer that prints my color wheel and any
painting or photograph..
Order here. RCW Transparent Primary Palette with Tartrazine yellow Clear.
THIS IS WHAT TRANSPARENT INDIAN YELLOW SHOULD LOOK AND BEHAVE LIKE.
IT'S BETTER, CLEANER AND BRIGHTER THAN ANYTHING ON THE MARKET TODAY.
5-20-10.
I changed the cake color slightly in my new transparent 3 color palette to give more of
the dual-toned quality. You just use less of the same pigment to make the bright
yellow.
How to make neutral dark colors?
How to mix new colors with a limited palette. These are acrylic
paints.
These opposition colors mix into DARK NEUTRAL for painting and printing.
Column 1 down. Cad Red Med. plus Thalo Blue. NEUTRAL
Column 1 down, Cad Red Light plus Thalo Blue. NEUTRAL
Column 1 down, Burnt Sienna plus Thalo Blue. NEUTRAL
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 and NEUTRAL
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
Lemon Yellow Light will not make Bt. Umber or Bt. Sienna or Orange or Cad. Red Light
Medium because it the color is a light opaque.
Gamboge Genuine will not make Cad Orange, Cad. Red Light or Lemon Yellow Light. It
never was a very good color, replaced by Indian yellow. Since I wrote this D.S. put out
a new color, Indian yellow, but they are calling it New Gamboge. That's their call, just
add another confusing term to the names of colors.
Old Holland has made a fine collection of transparent acrylic yellows, Indian Yellow -
Brown Lemon, PY150, is great, all of their nickel azo colors are.
OIL PIGMENTS
Three transparent Oil Yellows.
Old Holland Yellow Orange Lake Extra, makes a fine Cad Red hue with Magenta (oil) or
Acra Crimson (1996 acrylic) now called magenta, 2009.
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.
#36.3 Transparent yellow-green, like Rich Green Gold Nickel Chelated Azo PG10
Or a #36.7 Green Gold Azomethine or Irgazine Green PY129 all will mix with Thalo
green to make a chip color hue simulation of Hooker's green, an old 1996 pigment that
used black in it's color. It is a hard color to mix without having to resort to a third color
pigment.
These are the reds and oranges that are new in acrylics for 2000
HOW TO MAKE BROWNS
COMPARE MANGANESE BLUE TO CERULEAN BLUE
The Original RCW painting, 12-19-95, had 4 tints to white on 12 colors with 8 shades to
dark neutral.
Painting #816, acrylic, 15x22 on 1/8 mahogany plywood covered with polyester woven
cloth.
Liquitex had the first correct magenta back then (1995) and called it Acra Violet PR122.
Old Holland had the first acrylic Indian yellow in 2009, they have in transparent
dual-toned Org/side, Brn/side, Yellow-Orange/side and a transparent bright yellow. I
love them all. We have been missing these colors for 150 years when Indian yellow
original was banned by W/N in 1898. The first printed RCW version had 1 tint ring, 36
colors and 10 shades of each color.
Real Color Wheel 36, 12, 6 and 3 color wheel.
The dots on the colorwheel locate different pigments on different concentric rings.
The Pigment Color Section description for Cadmium Yellow Lemon Opaque is,
RCW36#1.0 for the main full chroma color.
#1.0 is the Pure Yellow arc or section and has 5 pigments below it, each one getting
darker.
The yellow wedge of color concentric value rings #1.00, #1.0, #1.2, #1.3, #1.6 and #1.10
all have pigments in them.
Brown is the darkest intensity of Yellow. Mix this low intensity brown with it's opposite
color Ultramarine blue for a neutral dark.
I like most 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 cyan and blue
mix a primary blue is so wrong, that makes a cobalt blue. As for mixing a transparent
yellow and translucent yellow to make a primary yellow, geez, how can they be so,
whatever.. There is no such thing as a split primary palette.

This palette box measures 4 x 6 x 3/4, it closes with a flick of the wrist while I'm
standing and keeps paint moist for a week of every day use.
To keep the colors really moist and mold free add a little ammonia to the water spray
bottle.
The lid includes a towel cloth glued to it with a waterproof glue, that I keep moist. In the
bottom is a removable pop-out to clean. The box is 1 inch high
I have a painting I did with my fingers and palm, I kept a bucket of ammonia water
(1:20?) by my side to keep my hands clean. I loved it!

transparent yellow hues.
