The New Munsell Student Color Set

We used the 3rd edition when I was in school. Teaches you about the interactions between different colors and color and light, comes with color chips to help you understand the lessons hands-on.

I would buy it new so you know you're getting all the chips and none of the lessons have been completed yet (with glued-on chips sometimes)

There's also Joseph Albers' Interaction of Color. This was recommended to me for the purpose of having a better understand of color and color interactions, though tbh I haven't started reading it yet.

Is this the book you’re referring to?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1501327526
I saw many books under the name “Munsell” and wanted to be sure.

> I personally hardly ever use straight black onto my palette I usually mix it.

Gamblin’s founder expressed the same and made a “Chromatic Black,” which is a mixture of Quinacridone Red and Phthalo Emerald. I haven’t used it yet but I picked up a tube recently.

> But I have a friend who mixes 1-10 value scale on his palette when painting to get very scientific on what shade and tint for each one of his mixtures he wants.

Woah. Is that where the book comes in? How does one go about doing that?

As for the pigments, I just recently bought a ton of Gamblin colors, but my starter set is Utrecht. I plan to go all Gamblin, but don’t want to waste the many multiple Utrecht tubes I was gifted.
Except for the Utrecht starter tubes which I have to go home to account for, I have:


  • Gamblin Radiant pigments (all eight)
  • Gamblin metallic pigments (four)
  • Radiant White
  • Zinc White (Titanium White with Utrecht)
  • Cool White
  • Warm White
  • Chromatic Black
  • Payne Grey (which is a black, I understand?)
  • Portland Grey Light
  • Portland Grey Medium
  • Cobalt Green
  • Cadmium Green
  • Viridian
  • Cobalt Violet

    I read about differences with Titanium White and Zinc White, and even a Titanium Zinc White, so I hoped to know more from experience about mixing with the two.
