- Description from the manufacturer
-
Various forms of zinc oxide have been used as a white pigment since antiquity, but it was in the 19th century that synthetic Zinc White (zinc oxide) was produced for use as an artist pigment. Zinc White’s gentle tinting strength and transparency make it useful in mixtures, as it doesn’t add opacity or chalkiness like Titanium White does. Concerns about Zinc White’s brittleness in oil paint have led to many manufacturers discontinuing the pigment in their oil ranges. There are no concerns about the permanence of PW4 in any other media, and it is an excellent mixing white in acrylic and watercolour. For a more opaque white, try Titanium White (PW 6).

Color mixer is an experimental feature using Mixbox: Pigment-Based Color Mixing. (Mixing within the sRGB gamut, assuming the colors were opaque colors.)Color mixer is an experimental feature using the paints' spectral curves, measured on masstone to predict the mixing path, assuming the paints were opaque.
