Yellow Ochre. Genuine natural French golden ochre (PY43). Less opaque than Yellow Oxide, its natural subtlety makes it perfect for gentle modulation when used with other colours. This pigment’s versatility sees it move from cool to warm when used in glazes.

Titanium Grey: This is a single pigment not a blend (Titanium Dioxide, PW6.1). A mid grey with slight warm yellow-brown colour space. This is not a neutral grey. Very opaque as you’d expect from titanium pigment, but not a ‘dead’ colour. Fantastic for subtle tinting of other colours. Excellent mixed with Raw Umber for grisaille painting.

Ultramarine Violet: Delicate, cool violet with subtle mixing power. A semi-opaque pigment, it doesn’t dominate, but pushes gently into mixes to create exquisite tints. Pulls the ‘heat’ out of colour blends of reds and oranges.

Cadmium Yellow Deep: Luscious, rich buttery yellow, veering towards the red side without becoming orange. One of our new genuine cadmium colours in our Fluid Acrylic range. As you’d expect from this pigment, the colour brushes out opaque without looking flat. A colour full of light that makes it sing!

Light Phthalo Green: Is it minty? Yes. Is it floral? Yes. Is it a ‘plastic’ colour? Yes.
Super-strange opaque pale green of 60’s formica, its sugary-sweet colour space also sits on the edge of colours seen at dawn’s breaking light. This is not a dusty colour!
Another newly released colour in our Fluid Acrylics range.Available now from selected Langridge stockists. 🇦🇺

Perylene Crimson: Deep, rich crimson with an unusual dirty base tone, as if a shady brown had slipped in and taken the place of the usual blue base. Distinctly different to the clean crimsons made with quinacridone, this colour can mutate brilliantly in landscape and portrait applications.
