Adobe is a sandy orange that's warm in mixing and is semi-opaque.

Softly bright, Adobe makes colorful golden tints with white and would be a valuable addition to an earth palette for portraiture.

Shown from left to right are our Bice, Ship Rock, Adobe, and Shale. Each of these chromatic grays are tinted along the bottom with our Titanium White.

Expertly compounded from bright complements, including Cadmium Yellow, Adobe is also found in the complete set of all eight grays, A Set of Color and Light. In collaboration with one of America's premier plein air painters, Scott L. Christensen.
