Holbein - Artist Oil Color Sets
Build a complete palette with Munsell-calibrated colors and generous white
Colors relate predictably, intermediates mix clean, and you spend less time fighting mud.
The twelve-color sets (H905 and H911) establish a versatile foundation palette. Both include the same carefully selected range, earth tones for tonal structure, primary variants for mixing reach, and key secondaries that extend your palette without redundancy. Set H905 provides 20ml tubes for regular use plus a generous 50ml permanent white SF, while H911 offers 10ml tubes throughout for artists testing the line or working smaller scale. Permanent white SF offers moderate opacity and flexible handling compared to titanium white's stronger covering power.
Set H903 expands to eighteen colors with refined distinctions: Chinese red alongside vermilion hue, multiple yellows spanning temperature ranges, three greens covering different mixing territories. Two 50ml whites, permanent white SF and titanium white, let you choose opacity and handling characteristics as paintings develop. Holbein formulates these colors with pure pigments and refined safflower oil, producing paint that maintains consistent body across the palette while offering genuine professional permanence ratings.
