Payne’s Gray
Photo: Privathaus, ©ktCOLOR. Text: Katrin Trautwein, ©ktCOLOR 2025.
English painter William Payne (1760–1830) was looking for a colorful gray which he intended to use as background for his landscapes. English paint producer Windsor & Newton, using a formulation based on the pigments Prussian blue, red madder lake and ochre, introduced Payne’s gray to the market with immediate success. It softly embeds surrounding colors, allowing any light shades, bright yellows, warm reds, or woods such as oak and ash to look bright and beautiful against its muted background. This versatile color was also used in Eileen Gray's house by the sea E.1027. In this masterpiece, designed to follow the path of the sun, Paynes Gray was applied to surfaces in the shadows to make them recede and to create an atmosphere of calm and seclusion.

How our colors are made

The pigment ultramarine, meaning "beyond the sea," was originally derived from the semi-precious gemstone lapis lazuli. The finest lapis stones were sourced from Afghanistan, a region beyond the Mediterranean, inspiring its name. This deep, magical blue can also be synthesized using China clay, calcite, and sulfur, resulting in a purer, more vibrant shade. Today, many iconic works of art rely on this synthetic, mineral-based pigment. The luminous blue vaulted ceiling of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua was created with natural ultramarine, a hue so radiant it seems to emit light from the vault itself. Similarly, Karl Friedrich Schinkel's stage design for the Queen of the Night's Hall in Mozart’s The Magic Flute (1816) was crafted using lapis lazuli. In the 1950s, Yves Klein’s monochrome masterpieces made synthetic ultramarine blue
