Immerse your artwork in cool sophistication with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Payne’s Grey Bluish (Colour No. 787, Series 1), a semi-opaque, cool-toned neutral that serves as the internationally requested variation of Schmincke’s classic Payne’s Grey. Composed of Lamp Black (PBk6) and Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15:6, PB15:2), this refined blend produces a deep, moody blue-grey with exceptional smoothness and versatility.
Payne’s Grey Bluish offers artists a cooler alternative to traditional neutrals, ideal for creating shadows, atmospheric depth, and desaturated tones in landscapes, seascapes, and architectural renderings. Its strong tinting strength and subtle transparency make it perfect for layering, glazing, and mixing yielding natural, cool harmonies without muddiness.

Once dry on your palette, the paint reactivates effortlessly with water, maintaining its creamy texture and pure pigment intensity.
