ARCTIC BLUE P313G

Named by a Grumbacher artist through our Facebook page contest, Arctic Blue is a unique color to the Pre-tested Professional range. It is a soft, pastel blue muted in tone with a slight greenish-gray cast. It falls mid-range on the temperature spectrum for blues. Although highly opaque, it has a low tinting strength that creates delicate tints and creamy mixes. A beautiful color for sky-work and highlights in seascapes. Introduced to the Pre-tested Professional line in 2014.

Grumbacher Pre-tested Professional Oil Colors has long stood for professional quality oil paint at an affordable price. The name itself means that it has been tested by human hands before it ever reaches the retail shelf.  Each color swatch has been tested for masstone and mixability, and has been painted by hand in the USA. It is further tested by our staff for characteristics such as lightfastness, drying properties, pigment dispersion and viscosity. Draw downs are compared and formulas are altered to ensure that our customers receive the best oil color at the best price. Truly a professional paint, the majority of our colors are single pigment, and have a lightfast rating of 1-excellent. Grumbacher Pre-tested Professional Oil Colors offers artists a modern palette with superior tinting strength. Made in the USA.
