Description
This unique range of primaries was especially developed for the Sennelier range of dry pigments. Each of these hues was formulated to offer exactly the same tinting strength, so in
mixtures, they allow you to create medium hue secondary colours :
1 part yellow + 1 part red = medium orange hue.
1 part red + 1 part blue = medium purple hue.
1 part yellow + 1 part blue = medium green hue.
As a result of the equal intensity of these three primaries, the progressive mixtures of hues, mixed, remain distinct. Therefore,
it is not necessary to add white to maintain the purity of these mixtures. All three have excellent lightfastness.
