Clean Mixes, Earthy Tones

The primary triad of Transparent Yellow Medium, Quinacridone Rose, and Phthalo Blue create clean mixes around the color wheel, while the neutrals produce a range of earth tones, from grey to green to ochre.

Create a spectrum of browns and greys by mixing compliments, such as red/green, yellow/purple, and blue/orange, and Payne’s Grey will tone down hues.
