Other strong points of Van Gogh Oil Colour are an equal drying time for all colours and a uniform degree of gloss (so that even mixed colours have an identical appearance after drying). The selection of 66 colours contains 50 most commonly used and attractively priced colours, along with a selection using exclusive pigments, including the genuine cadmium yellows and reds, genuine cobalt blue, cerulean blue and a permanent rose based on the extremely lightfast quinacridone pigment. Of course the range also has great variation in opaque and transparent colours, in order to create depth effects in the painting. Transparent colours are ideal for use in glazing paintings. All colours are manufactured from high quality pure pigments ground in pure linseed or safflower oil. The lightfastness varies from good to very good, so that paintings have the same colours after decades, as the day on which they were painted.
