Grumbacher Pre-Tested Professional Oil Colors – (1.25oz/37ml) Green Earth Hue

Grumbacher Pre-Tested Oil Paint has long stood for professional quality oil color. Each color swatch has been tested for masstone and mixability, and has been painted by hand. It is further tested by our staff for characteristics such as lightfastness, drying properties, pigment dispersion and viscosity. Draw downs are compared and formulas are altered to ensure that our customers receive the best oil color at the best price. Truly a professional paint, the majority of our colors are single pigment with superior tinting strength and have a lightfast rating of 1-excellent. 

Grumbacher Pre-tested Professional Oil Paint, Green Earth Hue (Terre Verte), is made with pure pigments milled in alkali-refined linseed oil. Green Earth Hue (Terre Verte) is a classic, semi-transparent, muted Green Earth Color with a slight Bluish undertone and weak tinting strength. This oil paint is originally imported from Italy, but not available since the late 1930’s, Pre-tested Green Earth is a duplicate of the masstone, undertones, and mixing properties of the original pigment. Traditionally, used for Verdaccio.
