Description
Payne’s Gray is a dark blue-grey pigment that is created by mixing Ultramarine, Mars Black, and occasionally Crimson. It derives its name from the 18th-century watercolorist William Payne, who developed the mixture and often suggested it to his students as a substitute for plain black. This pigment offers artists a versatile and nuanced alternative for creating shadow and depth in their artworks.
