Each artist has their own colour palette and color preferences. Those who are familiar with my art style know that I do like incorporating bright vibrant colours into my artworks.

In this article I’ll share 6 pastel colours that I use actively and that make my artworks pop up!

And the curtain comes down…here they are.

Let’s go in order.

My favourite #1 is Unison Colour A15.

Absolutely gorgeous bright pure red pigment that in combination with dark red colors makes beautiful light.

Actively use it whenever it comes to red berries, red glossy objects, etc.

Additional 4 and 14

Next let’s move on to orange shades.

2 more beautiful pastels colours that I have in my palette: Unison Colour Orange 4 and A14.

2 bright orange pigments that will add a nice juicy mood into paintings.

Love and use these actively whenever it comes to fresh drinks, fruits, etc.

So we have 3 more to go.

Next comes yellow Unison Colour A11 – pure sunshine in a stick! 

Perfect to highlights and adding shiny parts into glass objects, fruits. Often add it at the very final stage of painting.

Green 28 and 30

And the last but not the least: 2 shades of green, Unison Colour Green 28 and Green 30.

So yummy and vibrant, but at the same time absolutely natural colors! Like pure color of summer green apples placed at a sunny place.

For sure that is not the full list of my favorites, but one of its most yummy parts! Happy drawing!

    (Translated)Hello!
    What beautiful and powerful colors!
    Too bad that here in Chile the sale of Fine Arts products is so poor.
    What luck of those who can acquire them!

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
