Imperial Rome Palette

Description

Travel back in time with our Roman Palette, a refined set of 12 half pans of handmade watercolor created from historically authentic mineral and plant pigments used throughout the Roman Empire. Presented in a durable black metal watercolor palette, this curated collection reflects the rich, earthen hues of antiquity with each pan crafted in small batches for vibrant color and a luminous, layered finish.

Rooted in archaeological evidence and ancient artistry, this palette brings together the pigments favored by Roman fresco artists, manuscript illuminators, and craftsmen. Every color is carefully hand-ground, mulled, poured, and labeled, using only natural binders of honey and a small amount of gum arabic. Perfect for both fine detail and expressive work, these mineral-based pigments showcase the timeless palette of Rome’s legacy.
