About Payne’s Grey

Payne’s Grey is a dark, cool slate grey with a distinct blue undertone, made by combining ultramarine blue with mars black. It is named after William Payne, an 18th-century English watercolourist.

Many artists use it instead of black because it gives softer, more natural shadows and darks. Thinned or mixed with white, it opens up into a range of stormy blue-greys ideal for skies, seascapes and monochrome studies.
