About this product range
Grumbacher Academy Acrylics are a line of collegiate-grade, medium bodied acrylic paints available in an array of brilliant colors, including the most sought-after traditional colors, process colors, metallic colors, and iridescent colors. Developed in collaboration with world-class pigment suppliers, the number of pigments in individual colors are reduced, ensuring cleaner mixes and more accurate color matching without sacrificing tinting strength, opacity, or lightfastness. All colors have an ASTM lightfast rating of ‘Excellent’ and are labeled AP. Academy Acrylics are highly pigmented and offer superior tinting strength at a student-friendly price.
Made in the USA.

- Permanence

- Toxicity
- Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
- History
- Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
- Description
- Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
