The same seems true for the rest of the colors. My guess from the first palette listed for portraits is that different combinations of the Viridian/raw umber mixture and the cadmium green are mixed to produce values 2-4 (more cadmium green for value 4 and more Viridian/raw umber for value 2) and then white is incrementally added to the cadmium green to produce values 6 through 9.

What’s missing are the values between 1 and 5 and values higher than 5. The 5/6 Viridian + 1/6 Raw Umber = GREEN only at the 1st value, at the fifth value Cadmium Green = GREEN. The colors listed look like they’re meant to be at the maximum saturation since they come straight from the tube. I wasn’t able to find a Munsell palette with paint pigments other than the one you posted so I can’t say for certain that it is correct but it looks useful and should be easy enough to decipher. Green (5)ī- Blue = ½ Cobalt Blue + ½ Viridian (1) Cerulean (3) G- Green = 5/6 Viridian + 1/6 Raw Umber (1) Cad. YG- Yellow Green = ½ Viridian + ½ Raw Umber (1) Thalo YellowGreen (8) Y- Yellow = Raw Umber(1) Raw Sienna(4) Yellow Ochre(6) Cad. YR- Yellow Red (Orange) = Burnt Umber (1) Burnt Sienna (3) Cad. R- Red = ½ Alizarin Crimson + ½ Burnt Umber (1) Cadmium Red Light (5) For each of the 10 hues, the paint name or mixture is given followed by the value of the hue: Impressionists liked to use Analogous Complementary color schemes: 3 adjacent colors plus the compliment of the center analogous color. If 5/6 Viridian + 1/6 Raw Umber = GREEN, is there a basic pigment that is the same hue but with different saturation.Ĭolors in the tube are usually at maximum intensity.Īnalogous colors are 3 adjacent colors on the wheel.Ĭomplimentary colors are colors directly opposite (5 colors away).

For example, looking at the information on it seems thatĥ/6 Viridian + 1/6 Raw Umber = GREEN (value 1)Īre the info below correct? I know that it depends on the pigments used, but I just need some indication. The suggest some colors but I do not know if they are correct.Ģ) For a specific hue I want to know if there are basic pigment that represents a different value of the same hue. In these suggestions she talk about only hue and value but do not talk about saturation.įirst problem I do not know ho to get these color.
