<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The attached chart is based on tests I've done over
the past many years, updated when brands added or discontinued colors, when I
was able to keep up with it. There are many brands I've tested that didn't meet
my specifications, so they aren't on the chart. This would include all student
grades and some that purport to be artists' colors but aren't sufficiently
pigmented to suit me. It's a very individual thing. You don't need to stick to
one brand unless you really like it, but you also don't need a gazillion colors.
I used to like Grumbacher, too, and it was on the list, but the company changed
hands and product so much over a period of time that even the artist's colors
weren't reliable, so they fell off the chart, so to speak. There are others that
are hard to find in the stores (Old Holland) that aren't on my chart, although I
do use one of their colors and buy it wherever I can find it (Blue
Violet).</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Most of my colors are WN, so they are in the first
column, and colors that I think are equivalent in other brands are in the rows
across. If I don't like a particular color or if it isn't available in a brand,
the space is blank. My current direction is not to be brand-specific, but to
look for ASTM color-index names like PB15 for phthalo blue. Then you don't end
up with one each of every brand with a different name (Winsor Blue, Rembrandt
Blue, Thalo Blue, Intense Blue, etc.) that are all the same color, PB15.
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">There's a two-page color chart in my new Confident
Color book that shows 70 colors, giving their composition and color index names,
along with their common names, that might also be a useful guide. (I think I
just said please buy my book).</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Anyway, I hope the attached chart
helps.</font></div>
