What can Royal Talens Rembrandt Oil mix?

All 113 colours in the Royal Talens Rembrandt Oil range: masstone swatch, Colour Index pigment codes where the name states them unambiguously (35 of 113), and the tinting-strength flags that matter at the palette. Swatches are approximate. They come from the manufacturer’s published chart, not yet from measured drawdowns, and the method page explains what that means.

8 of the 113 colours are strong tinters (at least 1.5× average tinting strength). They go into a mix last, a speck at a time; here is why the order matters. Tinting strengths are the app’s own estimates from pigment composition, not measured values.

The Zorn palette in Royal Talens Rembrandt Oil tubes

The classic four-tube exercise (ochre, red, black, white) with this line’s own colours:  Titanium White (Linseed Oil),  Yellow Ochre,  Cadmium Red Light,  Ivory Black. The wheel shows the range those four can mix at mid value, computed with Kubelka–Munk pigment physics. The dimmed region is out of reach at any ratio.

At this value the four reach 11.7% of the fully saturated wheel: a small country with good flesh notes. Gamuts differ between brands because the tubes do. The same figure at three values, with the full discussion, is on the Zorn palette page and in the article.

The Zorn quartet in Royal Talens Rembrandt Oil at 55% lightness. In-reach colours at full strength, out-of-reach dimmed.
