About Rembrandt Whites:

Rembrandt offers a selection of whites with different properties and applications.

  • Zinc White: A semi-opaque cool white. Makes colours lighter without weakening the original colour. Rembrandt Zinc White is available in two options: Zinc White 104 based on safflower oil for the top layer, or Zinc White 117 based on linseed oil for lower layers.
  • Titanium White: An opaque, warm white. Great for toning down intense colours and creating opaque mixing shades. Rembrandt Titanium White is available in two options: Titanium White 105 based on safflower oil for the top layer, and Titanium White 118 based on linseed oil for lower layers.
  • Mixed White: A neutral white. Contains both zinc and titanium pigments. Based on safflower oil.
  • Transparent White 119: A transparent white. Lightens transparent colours, great for glazing techniques. Based on safflower oil.
  • Pearl White 817: A transparent white that adds an iridescent sheen. Works best when mixed with transparent colours. Based on safflower oil.

Linseed vs. safflower oil

Besides the pigments used, the binder also impacts the paint’s properties. As linseed oil shows some yellowing over time, it is sometimes replaced by safflower oil, particularly for white paint. Safflower oil is less yellowing, so it is great for use in the top layers of your painting, but it dries more slowly. Safflower oil is therefore less suitable for thickly painted areas or lower paint layers. For the lower layers, we recommend using a white based on linseed oil.
