Lascaux's Sirius Primary System is ideal for anyone who enjoys mixing color. This unique color specification system is based on five primary hues instead of the traditional three, enabling the artist to precisely mix a full, balanced palette. Use it in professions where the perceptual and sensual qualities of color are essential — Fine Art and Design, Architectural and Interior Design, Color Theory, Art Education, and Art Therapy. The system is easily used in practice, making it ideal for classes in fine art and design, color theory, and art education. Apply Sirius primary colors in rich saturated layers, or thin them with water into transparent glazes.A balanced color wheel can be intermixed, creating the entire spectrum of color with only a few hues. The complete set contains these materials:
The Sirius Primary System is an innovation of Lascaux, manufacturers in Switzerland of fine artist acrylic paints. An international patent is pending. |
In actual practice, color systems based on three primary colors, such as the traditional four-color printing process (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black), are limited for mixing a full spectrum of colors. Sirius creates a wider gamut of colors. Mixed in equal parts, the five primaries produce a neutral and vibrant black. Warm and cool tones can be logically defined, since on either side a red or blue can be differentiated. Add amounts of white to create a gradation of tints. When adjusting the lightness and darkness of a hue, the primary color's intensity and consistency remain intact. Within the system, a wide range of subtle, vibrant, and neutral grays can be mixed. |
