All colors are lightfast Gamblin Artist's Oil Colors®.
* I do not use umbers, because they tend to darken over time.
** Gamblin cadmium colors contain little "bioavailable" cadmium metal, and "no chronic health effects have been shown to result from exposure to cadmium pigments" unlike certain other cadmium compounds.
*** Synthetic substitutes for traditional pigments
