The Mixing Starter Set is based on the CMY color wheel and includes Yellow Citron, Quinacridone Red Deep, Phthalo Blue, Titanium White (in safflower oil), and Ivory Black. Mixing based on the CMY wheel is a subtractive process (pigments absorb the light they do not reflect), which is the opposite of the additive light system (RYB). The CMY pigments in this set are semi-transparent and transparent, but when used thickly or mixed with black or white, they become opaque.

Yellow Citron: When we made the hand-painted labels, we had to turn the lights down and put music on for this color. Not because this color was hot but because it is the coolest, brightest yellow we have worked with, and we were blinded by its brightness. We strongly recommend artists try glazing this yellow over blacks, blues, deep reds, and greens; it produces what looks like a neon light. - William Shade, Tusc & Pine Chemist

Quinacridone Red Deep: Infused with PV19, this Quinacridone embodies a dark, muted red with a subtle hint of violet. When thinned, it evolves into a mesmerizing magenta and reveals a delicate pink hue when used as a glaze. Use it as a tone or a shade to create moody shadows. Tusc & Pine Quinacridone Red and Magenta yield a nice spectrum of reds alongside this deep red.

Phthalo Blue: At its darkest, Phthalo Blue is reminiscent of midnight. Thinner applications reveal a reddish royal purple and sapphire blue color. Compared to Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue is highly staining and has an overpowering tinting strength. Mix this clean sapphire blue with other colors to make extraordinary greens and violets.

Titanium White (in Safflower): Titanium dioxide has twice the covering power of lead white while remaining highly stable and lightfast. We used a light-colored, non-yellowing safflower oil as the binder for this pale color.

Ivory Black: Charred bovine and swine bones are used to imitate the ivory tusks, which are no longer used to make this all-purpose black paint. As a result, the pigment is not vegan, kosher, or halal but retains the historical color used for centuries. The pigment's large, coarse particle size allows you to mix shades and tones without desaturating other colors.
