Tinting: Turkey Umber Pale, Indanthrone, Nickel Yellow

This week we tinted three of our Pigment Sticks®: Turkey Umber Pale, Indanthrone, and Nickel Yellow with Titanium-Zinc White to observe their range from full saturation to practically white. Turkey Umber Pale, already a subtler version of Turkey Umber Greenish, contains Phthalo Green in its makeup. As we tinted this color the cooler undertones of the Pthalo emerged. Indanthrone, in full saturation has a likeness to the inks found in pens. Tinting this color showed just how dynamic this blue truly is as its lightened and made more opaque. Nickel Yellow, which doesn't have quite the acidity of our Cadmium Lemon but still vibrant, enjoys a milder, but slightly cooler resemblance to our Brilliant Yellow Extra Pale as its lightened.
