Answer 1

Payne grey is a dark blue-grey color that is often used in painting.
It is named after William Payne, a watercolorist who invented the color in the late 18th century.
He wanted to find a less intense alternative to black for mixing colors.
Payne grey can be made by combining different pigments, such as blue, black, ochre and crimson.
Payne grey has a lilac undertone that makes it warmer than neutral grey.

However, it is not very lightfast and can fade over time.
