Gamblin Artist's Grade Oil Colours


Artist's Oil Colors"What we do is make essences of emotions that are reflected in colours."



Gamblin oil colours are luscious, intense, pigment-rich colours. Colours that do not succumb to age. Colours true to historic working properties, in a palette carefully constructed by America's premier colorman.

Rather than copy any other style of paintmaking, Robert Gamblin developed his own. Made from the finest quality raw materials, Gamblin's oil paints invite artists to enjoy each color's unique tinting strength, transparency and texture.

Similarly, Robert organised Gamblin's palette to help artists best match materials to their artistic intent. Our colours are grouped by era of pigment history and organized according to their position in colour space.

Expandable colour swatches and detailed information for each colour are available on the hue family pages listed to the left.

For palette suggestions tailored to specific painting styles, consider visiting the Exploring Colour Palettes section of our website. To learn more about Robert's innovative 3D approach to colour mixing, check out Navigating Colour Space.



Radiant White Gamblin Oils

A good choice where the color white is critical, Radiant White formulated for painters who want a "refrigerator white" white. Same tinting strength and opacity as Titanium White. Excellent for abstract paintings. Bright and opaque Titanium Dioxide is bound with safflower oil, the clearest oil binder. Because safflower oil is almost colorless, the bright white of the Titanium pigment shows through Radiant White.

Titanium White Gamblin Oils

Reflecting 97.5% of all available light, this most opaque white is the perfect choice for direct painting. Monet would have loved it because he wanted his paintings to look soft, like velvet. The covering power of Titanium White is useful for creating opaque layers, but T-Z White is preferable for color-mixing.

Gamblin Flake White Replacement Gamblin Oils

The first true nontoxic alternative to Flake White. It's the leanest of the Gamblin whites and a terrific underpainting white. Its beautiful opalescent quality is of special interest to portrait painters. Flake White Replacement has all the working properties of traditional Flake White: long ropey stroke, warm color, translucency and short brush mark. Not only does our FWR come without the lead but it also doesn't suffer from the fast drying time of traditional formulations, which contributes to the cracking of oil paintings over time.

Because it's brittle, painters should not consider it as a general painting white unless painting on panel.

Radiant White Gamblin Oils

A good choice where the color white is critical, our newest white-the brightest and whitest-was formulated for painters who want a "refrigerator white" white. Same tinting strength and opacity as Titanium White. Excellent for abstract paintings. Bright and opaque Titanium Dioxide is bound with safflower oil, the clearest oil binder. Because safflower oil is almost colorless, the bright white of the Titanium pigment shows through Radiant White.

Pigment: Titanium Dioxide (PW6)
Vehicle: Safflower oil
