ARTIST-TESTED & APPROVED

Researched, developed, and tested for over 3-1/2 years, these cadmium-free colors are the newest to perform with the richness of natural cadmium paints. In a blind test, we asked artists to compare the tone, tint, and opacity of the cadmium-free colors to their cadmium counterparts, and the results were clear. In addition to using a product with fewer health and environmental concerns, the majority of respondents felt the new paints equaled or exceeded the quality and performance of the natural cadmium colors.

"Great pigment potency and covering capacity - the colors are real stimulus on my palette. I love how solid and permanent each brushstroke is when applied to the canvas. The cad-free formula makes exposure to oil paint worry-free."

"I removed cads from my palette a few years back over environmental concerns. Utrecht Artists' Oil Colors are produced here in the U.S. where quality control is superior. I am super glad to see a viable alternative."
