Peerless Watercolors CMYK Primary Colors

Peerless Watercolors CMYK Primary Colors

This CMYK Primary Colour Pack from Peerless Watercolors is designed for artists who want to understand and control colour mixing from the ground up. It includes four hand-coated dry sheets in Sky Blue, Magenta, Marigold Yellow and Neutral Tint, giving you the classic subtractive primaries used in printing and traditional pigment mixing, plus a versatile dark for tonal control.

Why We Like It

Working with CMYK primaries is one of the most educational ways to really learn colour theory. Unlike RGB, which is based on light and screens, CMYK reflects how pigments behave on paper. Starting with these four colours allows you to build a huge range of clean, natural secondaries and subtle in-between shades, rather than relying on pre-mixed colours. The Neutral Tint is particularly useful for controlling contrast, creating soft shadows and knocking back overly bright mixes. We find this set ideal for sketchbooks, travel kits and anyone who enjoys mixing rather than collecting dozens of pans.
