The colour number and code indicate whether a colour has been diluted and in what capacity. Each colour has its own number. The pure colours are followed by the code ,5. Intermediate shades mixed with black are indicated by codes ,2 and ,3. Codes ,7 to ,12 indicate intermediate shades mixed with an increasing amount of white.

What is a Soft Pastel and Its Use in Fine Arts

Soft pastels are beloved drawing and painting tools among artists for their versatility and ease of use. Composed mainly of pure pigments and a binder such as kaolin, soft pastels provide intense and vibrant colours. They are ideal for creating smooth gradients and detailed effects, allowing artists to work on both large areas and fine details. Perfect for use on paper, cardboard, canvas, and other surfaces with good tooth, soft pastels can be easily fixed with spray fixatives to prevent smudging and preserve the finished work over time.
