The RYB color system is based on the colors red, yellow and blue. It is particularly popular in traditional art and in the training of artists because it teaches the basics of color mixing in a simple way. In our range you will find the colors signal red, permanent yellow and ultramarine in both the Aquarylic Color and the acrylic paints, which are ideal for this system.

By mixing two primary colors, you create secondary colors such as orange, green and violet in the RYB system or blue-violet, red and green in the CMY system. Tertiary colors - another color level - are created by mixing neighboring primary and secondary colors, resulting in unique and complex colors. With mixed white or jet black, you can lighten or darken any color as desired.

Our highly pigmented, lightfast and age-resistant colors are perfect for mixing a wide variety of shades.
