Permanent Pigments made my favorite oil gel medium, alkyd or otherwise: Permalgel. Much nicer than the other alkyd mediums I've tried. Less brown, not clumpy, nice gloss, and nice handling.
Value 6 just means it's 1 value darker than mid-tone. It probably didn't catch on *garbage noises* because when buying paint, the only thing most of us are looking for is the hue. I might occasionally look out for a mid-tone hue (manganese violet comes to mind) to control mixes, but generally, it's the hue I'm looking for.
I’m pretty sure Permanent Pigments was the same corporation as Liquitex. At some point, Binney & Smith (yes, the Crayola people) became owners of Liquitex. That may have been when the Permanent Pigments name was dropped. I’m a little vague on the details.
Oooh, that's a rough question. EVERY brand has both opaque and transparent colors in their lines, and there's tons of mediums that allow paints to be thinned even further. I have my personal brand favorites (michael harding, williamsburg, vasari), but technically Old Holland is supposed to be the top tier with the most pigment. I also do not like Old Holland particularly much. It's a very 'your mileage may vary' question, everyone has different responses to this question.
@@CallyKariShokka i like m.h. but have never tried many others. I have to travel far to physically see the paint. & online ordering is just a guess. There are a few m.h's. I dont like, so I have to find certain colors (quality!) To substitute. I'll take your word for it on, o.h. & williamsburg. Or..drive to n.y. dick blick, allentown I doubt has as much stock. T.y. for your response.
Oops, that’s what I get for posting before I’ve seen the whole video. On the back of the tube, is says, “ Permanent Pigments, a division of Binney and Smith”. I think they also came out with modular acrylics as well.
I enjoy the reviews of the vintage paints! This one seems like a winner.

Garbage noises! :D
The opacity is the addition of white to increase the chroma.

I was thinking that because the typography on their packaging is nigh identical, but details out on thar them there interwebs is a little... Hazy.
I'm curious of your opinion. From all the brands you've tried, over all colors, which brand is the most opaque. Most pigment.?

Question.
Will you review water mixable oil paints soon?
I COULD review them, I just personally did not like them when starting out in oil paints. But I could give it a try again, sure!
