Grumbacher Pre-Tested Professional Oil Colors – (1.25oz/37ml) Mars Black

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, Mars Black, is made with pure pigments milled in alkali-refined linseed oil. Mars Black is the most popular black not made from carbon, considered fully non-toxic, and animal cruelty-free. This oil paint is a dense, heavy modern Black made from Synthetic Iron Oxide that has good tinting strength. Mars Black makes Grays that are essentially neutral and is used for covering relatively large areas because it makes a dry paint film superior to those formed by other Blacks.
