Suitable for all levels including beginners.

A split-primary palette is a colour palette consisting of both warm and cool versions of each primary colour (red, yellow, and blue), resulting in six colours total.This setup is designed to allow artists to mix a wider range of cleaner, more vibrant secondary and tertiary colours than a standard three-color primary palette. This means better colour control, and vibrant colours without the mud! Less Tubes. Instead of stocking your studio with a gazillion colours, you are armed with six powerhouse colours. This forces you to explore the art of mixing, deepening your understanding of colour interactions while keeping your toolkit streamlined.
