New Da Vinci Artist Oil Colors
Da Vinci Paints is excited to announce the addition of 10 new artist colors to our professional oil paints. Each new oil color was developed to offer artists a wider range of transparent and opaque colors along with single and multi-pigment options. Like all of our oil colors, each color is meticulously handcrafted with the finest, professional-grade pigments that are carefully blended and milled with the purest refined linseed oil to make an oil paint that’s rich and full-bodied with a buttery smooth consistency.
In this post, we’ll explore each new oil color along with how it compares to other Da Vinci colors. You may also click on the links in the color names or in any of the images below to visit the product pages where we have more examples along with common mixes.

New Hansa Yellow Medium & Deep Artist Oil
Da Vinci Hansa Yellow Medium (PY74) and Hansa Yellow Deep (PY65) join the previously available Hansa Yellow Light (PY3) in our oil lineup. These three single-pigment, transparent to semi-transparent yellows offer artists an excellent range of non-toxic, lightfast palette yellows. If you prefer more opaque colors in your palette, click on the following links to compare these three yellows to Da Vinci Cadmium Yellow Pale, Cadmium Yellow Light, and Cadmium Yellow Medium or Deep.
New Transparent Orange Artist Oil
The introduction of Da Vinci Transparent Orange (PY83/PR149) adds a unique secondary option to our range of artist oil paints. Just like Cadmium Yellow Orange and Cadmium Orange, this two-pigment convenience blend is highly lightfast. However, Transparent Orange provides artists with a non-toxic, transparent option that’s excellent for mixing a wide range of greens, earths, bronzes, and browns while still maintaining transparency.
New Quinacridone Red & Naphthol Red Artist Oil
Da Vinci Paints offers artists a vast selection of primary red oil colors, from warm to cool, and we’re excited to expand the options with Naphthol Red (PR112) and Quinacridone Red (PR209). Naphthol Red’s bright, clear coloration with strong tinting strength is able to mixing clean to muted tones along with the deepest darks, while Quinacridone Red’s beautifully warm transparency will easily mix soft roses, rich oranges, vivid violets, and more.
New Lilac, Quinacridone Violet & Ultramarine Violet Artist Oil
The addition of Da Vinci Lilac (PV19/PB29/PW6), Quinacridone Violet (PV19), and Ultramarine Violet (PV15) greatly expands our artist oil options by adding a beautiful assortment of transparent to opaque and warm to cool violets to our current selections. Quinacridone Violet is a vividly warm, red-violet color in masstone with cool blue-violet undertones, while Ultramarine Violet is prized for its soft transparency and light tinting strength. Lilac is absolutely lovely in masstone but with its ability to quickly tone, neutralize, or enrich other palette colors, it also performs like a superpowered gray.
New Opus (Vivid Pink) Artist Oil
Da Vinci Opus artist oil, also known as Vivid Pink, is made from Pigment Red 122 (PR122) and a red-dyed polymer that results in an intense rose color that’s difficult to achieve with artist pigments alone. Opus’s calm, cool undertones open up in glazes to display brilliant fuchsia and rose tones, and Opus will easily mix into bold violets, bright oranges, yellow golds, and apricot pinks. Although Opus is prized for its vivid nature, it can also be used to mix muted tones like ochres, ambers, and earths.
Da Vinci Green Gold Artist Oil
Da Vinci Green Gold artist oil is an elegant, earthen green color with transparent golden undertones that’s actually made from a single yellow pigment (PY129). With its ability to mix a massive range of natural greens and earths, Green Gold make a wonderful palette “green” for artists who prefer to avoid convenience colors. In addition, Green Gold’s delicate, transparent nature and warm glow often lends paintings or objects a sense of soft illumination.
