Williamsburg Handmade Safflower Oil Colors are a unique collection of traditional whites and delicate transparent earth pigments, blues, and violets ground in expeller-pressed, refined safflower oil. Individually milled to bring out the best qualities of each pigment, these handmade oil colors offer the exceptional craftsmanship you expect from Williamsburg while addressing concerns about luminosity and yellowing associated with linseed oil.
Ideal for white passages and delicate glazing techniques, each color in the collection was painstakingly developed to offer long-lasting luminosity and clarity with minimal yellowing or color shift over time. Please note that these colors take longer to dry and are not recommended for underpainting or foundational layers.

- History
- Lithopone was discovered by G.F. de Doubet in 1850. It was developed commercially in the 1870s as a substitute or supplement for lead carbonate, to overcome the many shortcomings of white lead pigment, including toxicity, poor weathering, and darkening in the presence of sulfur compounds. It is used most often in interior paints and enamels. Its use as a white pigment has been superceeded in many applications by titanium dioxide.
