Torrit Grey... If you took all the pigments in the color spectrum and mixed them together, what color would they produce. Gamblin Artists Colors Co. answers the question with a new limited edition color, Torrit Grey. Made from recycled pigment dust, collected from the air filtration system used in the Gamblin factory. Because Torrit Grey is always complementary, it is also always complimentary. Dedicated to the environment of the earth and artists' studios, Robert Gamblin, paintmaker of Gamblin Artists Colors Co., has been an outspoken advocate of both environmental and studio safety issues for years. "Pigment dust should not go into the earth, water or landfill, but into paint," says Gamblin. "Torrit Grey is made up of every color we produced in this past year. Gamblin began formulating Torrit Grey yearly to recycle pigment, and to focus artists on recycling in honor of Earth Day on April 22. Over the course of the year, when a bag of pigment is opened in the factory, escaping particles are collected in a dust extractor called the Torit. Each January, Gamblin collects the pigments from the air filtration system and makes them into a special oil color - Torrit Grey - which is made up of at least 60 pigments. The pigments mix together differently ever year creating an exclusive color. "Though each issue of Torrit Grey is unique, it tends to have a greenish tinge because of the great strength of phthalo green pigment, says Gamblin. "And it varies from a medium dove grey to a dark earthy grey.' Approximately 5000 37 ml (1.25 fl oz) tubes of Torrit Grey are produced annually. Torrit Grey is available for a limited time. "Enjoy the paint today because this special color will only exist as paintings next year," says Gamblin.
