Colours

Our Research and Development chemists develop the colours produced today using the knowledge, formulations and techniques gained from over 200 years of making artists materials combined with modern advances in materials and technologies. Raw materials are source from all around the world to find the best and most suitable materials for the products they are developing.

These products are tested by both traditional and modern test methods to ensure they meet the right aesthetics wanted by the customer i.e. the flow properties, colour strength, drying times, etc. Once these properties have been formulated into the product it is then put on accelerated storage test to ensure that the product dose not deteriorate in the container over time. At Daler-Rowney, we manufacture over a thousand different artists materials form our factory in Bracknell, England.
