Red Lead Primer Color Palette

Thirty oranges pulled off painted steel: deep oxide browns, bright red-lead and orange-primer mid tones, flaking rust, and pale sanded neutrals that read almost like putty. The darks make good outlines and shadow shapes, while the chalky lights work as paper-toned backgrounds behind them. Handy for machinery and bridge illustrations, tool and hardware lettering, worn signage, and anything that should look like it has been outdoors a while.
