When mixed with any other color, Neutral Tint produces glowing darker values of that color. Our chemist developed this perfect, neutral gray – neither warm nor cool – that quickly and reliably tones down colors and mixes rich, luminous darks. Since its development in 2012, artists have found Neutral Tint to be an essential addition to their palettes for expanding their range of colors.
Features:
- Quickly darken a color while keeping its transparency without getting muddy
- Reliably tone down colors
- Make lovely, colorful shadows
- Perfect for working with a limited palette – it’s the complement to any color
- Easily expand your palette when space is limited during travel sketching and plein air painting
- Works well on its own for quick value sketches

“As professional teaching artists, we asked if DANIEL SMITH could develop a new dark watercolor pigment, so that seasoned watercolorists, as well as beginners, could easily mix visually pleasing, colorful, clean darks. We wanted to make it easier for our students to keep away from making muddy darks with one easy step, and this is the perfect solution!
Neutral Tint can also diffuse a color to help to neutralize the pigment. Just add a small amount to any DANIEL SMITH watercolor and before your eyes you will see the hue become toned down. You can create crystal clear, glowing watercolor paintings!”
