Grey 180 – Essential Neutral for Balance & Depth

The Camel Artist Acrylic Colour (Grey 180, 120ml) is a neutral mid-grey tone designed for shading, tonal balance, and monochrome artwork.

Grey is a fundamental colour in painting, widely used to control brightness, soften colours, and create realistic shadows. It is especially useful in techniques like grisaille (grey-scale painting), where artworks are built using tonal values before adding colour layers.

This acrylic paint offers a smooth, creamy consistency, delivering excellent coverage, easy blending, and a fast-drying, water-resistant finish suitable for multiple surfaces.
