Jane’s grey is actually part of Jane Blundell’s ultimate mixing set. She is amazing and the queen of color if you haven’t looked her up before. Thank you so much for swatching these out. I just wanted to give the credit to Jane for the Jane’s grey

I purchased the DS primary and secondary sets along with the Moonglow, not knowing the LF ratings. Will it still go fugitive when mixed for shading or neutral tints? The granulation was the motive for buying it. Can some other color like indigo be added to reenforce the strength of the Moongone? (lol) Nice tutorial video. Signed, Grey-matters

I have tried the ones shown and did like Joseph Zbudvic ‘s cool and warm. I did not like many of them but ultimately chose the regular DS neutral and did comparisons of my mixes verses using the neutral and I was impressed. It was the only one that made it to my palette. I used to use the Bloodstone genuine until I read the specs on that and some other Primateks not all but is very poisonous. So I stopped using those. But my favorites are the neutral from DS and Joseph Zbudvic’s cool grey which granulates a bit. I ended up just making my own similar to that because I liked using the cobalt turquoise. Sometimes the DaVinci is just as beautiful if not more saturated in some pigments like perylene green and real Cerulean and a good value. So my palette in all is a mixture mostly of the 2. The DaVinci one pigment permanent alizarin crimson is hands down a winner. Anyways thank you for sharing, all of us take a look from time to time and for me it was the first time a neutral got on my palette and I was completely surprised by doing my own studies and desaturation with compliments and comparing using the neutral. In many cases I found the neutral to be more natural looking with examples especially with yellows to oranges. Of course those are more noticeable anyways but I was surprised. Now I encourage other artists to try just the regular neutral and compare for themselves. Thank you for sharing.

I also heard Bloodstone fades. I will have to give the DS neutral more study. I have not used it yet, but maybe there will be something I like it for. I haven't used DaVinci pigments. Thanks for the info.

I bought Sodalite after hearing many good reviews about it even though it's super expensive, and it did not disappoint me! The texture is what makes it special. I don't really care for all those other grays which DS sell as series 2. Payne's grey or Neutral Tint in series 1 could do the same job, I think.

Danny, I too like Sodalite! It and Alvero's Fresco are my favorites. I've never cared for Payne's gray, but I know plenty of artists that like it. Personally, I mix most of my grays, but it is nice to have some options.

@@lorrainewatry_watercolors yes Payne's Gray could appear kinda flat and lifeless sometimes, especially compared to Sodalite! thank you for the reply ;)

Would you explain to me what the difference is between grays and neutral tint? I use Daniel Smith paint, almost exclusively. Someone said it neutralizes color. But how is that different than neutralizing colors by using their complimentary color?

Rosemary, per the definition I found for Neutral tint (NT) - "These tints are designed to make a colour darker, but not to alter the colour itself when you pop the tint on top." I have not personally used Neutral Tint, but I could see where some grays lean cooler or warmer and depending on the pigment mix it could change a color rather than just darken or neutralize it. Some people use NT as a way to harmonize a painting, by using that with almost every color. Personally, I will probably keep using complimentary colors for neutralizing a color.

Thanks for the comparison! I usually prefer to mix my grays and blacks so I can make them lean however I need, but I did purchase a tube of Jane's gray recently because I mix it so often that it was getting tedious, haha. I'm very tempted to try the sodalite, too.

I agree. I usually like to mix my grays too. But, it is handy to have them pre-mixed if I want them. Jane's gray is a good one to have. I love the granulation in Sodalite!
