Black Spinel

This most permanent of blacks is the only truly neutral black in masstone and tint. Because of its pigments crystalline shape, Black Spinel dries to a matte finish when no painting mediums are added. Long and ropey in texture, it contains no carbon. Costs as much as Cadmium Yellows but well worth the money.
