We manufacture our paints in a range of 89 colors. Each color is milled to bring out the individual characteristics of the pigment. Instead of an overall uniformity of texture that is found in cheaper paints, our paint may vary in its feel and handling from color to color. Our earths may feel a little gritty, while our cadmiums will be ultra smooth. The reason for this is that the particles of different pigments have particular physical shapes that are important to the overall brightness of the color. Over-grinding can make a color go flat, just as under-grinding can give the paint an uneven consistency. Additives, too, can make a color dull. The hallmark of a high quality handmade paint, therefore, is the attention given to the specifics of each color to ensure its maximum purity and luminosity.

A little over a third of our colors are mixed. Tints made by mixing with white are kept at a high key so the color retains its bright chroma, instead of going chalky or pasty. If a lighter color is desired, more white can always be mixed in.

We spend a lot of time and effort on our Colors here at R&F, so it is very had to see them reproduced on a computer and to know that every monitor will be different. This OnLine Color Chart is here to give you a rough idea of the colors. We do make color charts with actual paint chips if you would like to see the colors for real.  They can be purchased at our online store.
