Kimera Kolors Pure Pigments Expansion Set 2: Shifted Primaries

Six Single-Pigment Acrylic Paints for Expanded Gamut & Cleaner Mixing

The Pure Pigments Expansion Set 2: Shifted Primaries expands the Kimera Kolors system with six carefully selected single-pigment acrylic paints that function as alternative primaries. Rather than replacing traditional red, yellow, and blue, these colors shift the color space, giving painters access to cleaner mixes, richer secondaries, and smoother chromatic transitions.

Designed for artists who rely on color theory rather than pre-mixed convenience, this set unlocks new mixing pathways while maintaining the purity and handling Kimera Kolors is known for.

Included Colors (Shifted Primary Palette)

• Turquoise Deep – PB16
  High-chroma blue-green for clean teals, cool mixes, and luminous blends
• Indigo – PB60
  Deep blue-violet ideal for shadow mixes and cool secondary colors
• Perylene Violet – PV29
  Near-black violet for rich shadows and controlled darkening without mud
• Scarlet – PR255
  Powerful warm red for intense oranges, clean purples, and strong contrast
• Permanent Yellow – PY14
  Bright, high-energy yellow for vibrant secondaries and luminous mixes
• Emerald Green – PG36
  Clean, vivid green for saturated blends and expanded color range

Together, these paints act as secondary primaries, allowing you to fine-tune hue bias, saturation, and temperature far beyond what a standard primary set can offer.

What You Get

• 6 × 30 ml pure pigment acrylic paints
• Matte finish for predictable layering and glazing
• Single-pigment formulation (no fillers, chalk, or opacifiers)
• Integrated agitator ball in each bottle for consistent mixing

Why Shifted Primaries Matter

Traditional primaries are only one solution to color mixing. Shifted primaries allow you to:

• Create cleaner secondaries with fewer unwanted undertones
• Maintain saturation when mixing darker or cooler colors
• Control temperature and chroma with greater precision
• Reduce reliance on pre-mixed paints

This set pairs perfectly with the original Kimera Kolors Pure Pigments, extending the system into deeper blues, richer reds, and more vibrant greens.

Applications & Techniques

• Color Mixing: Build a wider, cleaner color gamut using single pigments.
• Glazing & Layering: Predictable transparency and saturation with no chalkiness.
• Shading: Darken colors using chromatic mixes instead of black.
• Fine Art & Miniatures: Consistent performance across brush and airbrush techniques.

Kimera Kolors Shifted Primaries are designed for painters who want full control over hue, saturation, and temperature—without compromise.
