It fits nicely in between the earthy greens and the warmer earth colors that have a greenish tint although it is a far departure from the colors most similar to it. Its burnt olive color is straight out of the garment racks of a second hand army navy surplus store and its tint is the color of cool sand untouched by the light of the sun. Originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, over one hundred seventy artist quality oil colors are now made in New Berlin, NY. Each color is milled in small batches to provide a unique expression of each pigment used. For that reason, our paints are not homogeneous, as some colors require a very fine grind that results in a rich, smooth paint, while others are best allowed to retain more texture and provide a little more resistance and less gloss.
