Oil colour tube Rembrandt Warm Grey 718 — artist oil paint, single tube

Rembrandt Oil Colour Warm Grey 718 is a professional-grade single tube of artist oil paint designed for fine art applications. Formulated with high-quality pigments and a linseed oil binder, this Warm Grey provides a balanced neutral tone suitable for mixing, glazing and achieving subtle tonal transitions in portrait, landscape and still life painting. The paste has a traditional oil paint consistency that allows controlled brushwork and smooth blending on canvas, board and other primed supports.

Advantages

This Warm Grey offers consistent pigmentation and a stable handling feel that supports layering and transparent glazes. The formulation promotes good lightfastness and colour permanence appropriate for archival artworks. Its working properties—medium viscosity, predictable drying behaviour and smooth texture—make it compatible with common oil painting techniques including underpainting, scumbling and fine detail work.

Suitable for

• Portraits and figure studies requiring subtle mid-tones and shadow modelling
• Landscapes where neutral greys are needed for skies, rocks or atmospheric effects
• Still life painting and tonal studies
• Mixing palettes to mute colours or create naturalistic greys

How to use

Apply Rembrandt Warm Grey 718 directly from the tube or mix with other oil colours and approved painting mediums to adjust transparency, flow and drying time. For best results use on primed surfaces and allow each layer to dry sufficiently before applying thicker subsequent layers. Clean brushes with turpentine, mineral spirits or an appropriate solvent followed by soap and water for thorough removal of residual oil paint.

Usage recommendations

For controlled glazing, thin the paint with a low-absorbency oil medium; for impasto or thicker texture work, use undiluted paint or add a small amount of a stiffening medium. Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and seal tightly after use to preserve consistency and prevent skin formation.
