How did the mineral oil colors are produced?Impresionist artist and the mineral oil to have brighter colors?
Mineral oil colors were from inorganic pigments that are compounds of minerals, such as cobalt, cadmium, and manganese. Prussian Blue, cerulean, etc all became possible for the Impressionist's use then. These mineral colors grey down when mixed with white. This attribute makes them particularly valuable for painting natural light because most colors of the natural world have a strong element of grey.
