A transparent brownish-black. One of the most popular colors of the 18th century, Asphaltum was used when painters wanted to make their paintings look like they could have been painted by an Old Master. Most Paintings made with liberal use of genuine Asphaltum (a semi-solid organic material found with oil deposits) have fallen apart. The color Asphaltum is worth saving, so Robert Gamblin formulated this Asphaltum to match the original in color only. Gamblin Asphaltum is lightfast and permanent.
