Today's selections would have been the crown jewels of the old masters. With a little bit of mixing, this efficient palette can be used to create a wide range of deep and brilliant hues.
Pigments (9): ◆ cadmium yellow (PY35) ◆ cadmium red light (PR108) ◆ quinacridone magenta (PR122) ◆ ultramarine blue (PB29) ◆ phthalo blue (PB15) ◆ phthalo green blue shade (PG7) ◆ transparent yellow oxide (PY42) ◆ burnt sienna/transparent red oxide (PR101) ◆ titanium white (PW6)

The Impressionists (1860–1905) pushed paint to the edge of its brilliance. The discovery of new pigments enabled innovative artists, such as Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Sorolla, to capture a wide spectrum of bright colours.
Pigments (8): ◆ cadmium lemon (PY35) ◆ cadmium yellow (PY35) ◆ pyrrole orange (PO73) ◆ quinacridone magenta (PR122) ◆ ultramarine blue (PB29) ◆ phthalo blue (PB15) ◆ phthalo green (blue shade) (PG7) ◆ titanium white (PW6)
Tip: There are a few ways of making a chromatic black. Mixing pyrrole orange with either ultramarine blue or a touch of phthalo green will create cool or warm neutrals. A deeper and cooler chromatic black can be made by mixing phthalo green with quinacridone magenta.
