Blue Winter

Keenantr 11 Nov 2025

I decided to embark on this before realizing that I didn’t have enough black but I made the most out of it. For some reason my greys look a little brown but overall i like it. I’m thinking I used a different black than Bob or not enough blue maybe

Very nice. I believe that Bobs midnight black has a bit of ultramarine in it. I think it leans towards purple.

Nice job and I think Rebecca is right about the Midnight black. I prefer to work with ivory black. Pure and deeper👍🏼🇩🇪

Did you use Ivory Black or Mars Black by any chance? They both have a brownish tint to them. As Rebecca said, BR Midnight Black is essentially a very dark purple. There is Carbon Black if you want something a little more neutral.

I used ivory black. I think I’m going to try to make midnight black and see if I like that any better. I like the ivory black but I would have preferred cooler greys in this piece for sure.
