🎨 Color of the Week: Sap Green
Sap Green is a rich, earthy green with warm yellow undertones, making it a versatile choice for landscapes, foliage, and natural color palettes.

Pigment Info
Pigment Codes: PG7 (Chlorinated Copper), PY74 (Phthalocyanine Arylide Yellow), PBk7 (Carbon Black)
Lightfastness: LF1 (Excellent)
Opacity: Semi-Transparent

đź’ˇ Pro Tip
This week, we’re exploring tinting and shading with Sap Green!
Mix Sap Green with Titanium White to create lighter tints. Add black in small amounts to lower its value and create darker greens for foliage shadows.

One green, a whole range of possibilities!

Do you find yourself reaching for earthier greens or high-chroma greens?

“This painting is inspired by the March Hare from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I also wanted to capture the feeling of fall, with all of its beautiful, fleeting color.

Rose Madder and Yellow Ochre became the two main colors in the piece, with Quinacridone Magenta and Naphthol Red Light adding even more warmth and intensity.

And boy, were they perfect for it!”

---Andrea Kidd,

We love seeing how artists use color to bring a story, season, and character to life.

Materials Used: Richeson Oils (Napthol Red Light, Cadmium Orange, Rose Madder, and Quinacridone Magenta)

🎨 Color of the Week: Quinacridone Magenta

Quinacridone Magenta is a vibrant, transparent red-violet with exceptional depth and clarity.
Pigment Info:
Pigment Code: PR122 (Quinacridone Red)
Lightfastness: LF1 (Excellent)
Opacity: Transparent

đź’ˇ Pro Tip:
An interesting color exploration this week: tinting Quinacridone Magenta with Transparent Marble White vs. Titanium White.

Although both are whites, they produce noticeably different results. Transparent Marble White lightens and softens the color while preserving more of its transparency, while Titanium White quickly increases opacity and creates a more pronounced tint.

Same color. Two very different drawdowns.

Which tint would be more useful on your palette?

🎨 Can you guess this week’s Color of the Week?

This warm, earthy color from our Richeson Casein line sits somewhere between a golden yellow and a natural earth tone. It has enough warmth to bring a sunlit quality to a painting without becoming overly bright or saturated.

Its muted golden character makes it especially useful for landscapes, grasses, warm highlights, earth tones, underpaintings, and natural skin tones.

Pigment: PY42
Lightfastness: LF I (Excellent)
Series: 2
Opaque

đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Try it as a warm neutral mixing color. Use it to temper blues and violets while maintaining warmth in the mixture.
