Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour 200ml Lamp Black
Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour Lamp Black is an opaque, black color with a bluish tint, producing a variety of cool blue greys. It is pigment mixed with linseed oil and is an extremely permanent color with excellent lightfastness. Lamp Black is one of the oldest pigments. It is made of pure carbon, originally from the residual soot of burnt oil lamps.
Every tube of Artists' Oil Paint contains a calculated ratio of oil and pigment based on the quantity of oil in the tube. This varies from color to color because, just as some pigments need to be ground finer than others, they also need more, or less, oil to provide optimal performance.
