Thank you so much for watching, subbing and your kind words Ashley! Soo glad you enjoyed it x

Beautiful array of Payne's Greys. Of course we love the Roman Szmal Shadow Grey and I am partial to Schmincke's Payne's Grey Bluish but was also leaning toward Jackson's. Michael Harding Payne's Grey is stunning!

This was a great comparison. I mix greys using single pigment versions of some blue and burnt sienna or burnt umber. I work out of a limited 12/14 palette and I prefer to mix greys instead of having a dedicated space in my palette for grey. Thanks for this

You are more than working Berolina! Thank you for watching and your kind words, I must admit you’re right - blue and burnt sienna/umber does create some stunning greys ❤️ thank you for sharing xx

Number 8 was my favorite because it leans towards violet. I have two brands of Payne’s grey, one neutral tint, RS Przybysz’s grey, and RS shadow grey. I use them for shadows, and a few weeks ago I was painting white flowers, so I used one of the greys, or it might have been neutral tint, to paint the white flowers.

My Payne's Grey was one of my first watercolour paints. I got it in a little Rembrandt set, fell in love with it immediately and no video comparison has managed to convince me otherwise. Even though I do love it, I only ever use it for monochromatic paintings or exercises, as I prefer single pigment paints on my palette.

Such beautiful greys! I really like the Roman Szmal greys you swatched, they are so pretty! I have a few brands but I most often reach for Daniel Smith's Payne's Grey or Jane's Grey. Two of my favourite "almost greys" (that I use in the same way that I use Payne's Grey) are also by Daniel Smith and they are moonglow and lunar blue.

I've never really thought about Paynes gray being different across brands, it is one of my favourites but now I have the Roman Szmal shadow grey as well that has become a firm favourite

Tiptoes in and whispers... the only paynes grey I own is the sad looking remains of a MaimeriBlu dot card. 🤫 I only really have a fairly basic palette, so I have to mix my own moody darks! It got bumped out of my basket on my last Jacksons order in order to buy RS Cobalt Teal... I love turquoise! 🤣 I do have a Schmincke Neutral Grey (which is, as the name suggests, a very neutral grey no matter how little or much you dilute it). I bought it to use in sketches for jewellery making when I'm pondering whether I want to oxidise silver or not in a design. It is great for that but rather boring otherwise! 😂

This is my introduction to your wonderful channel (as it was suggested in the comments by some viewers from one of Jenna Rainey’s older videos) and am I ever thankful I chose to search for you! I am a huge fan of Payne’s Grey and once swatched out my (much smaller) collection. It is such a beautiful colour, it deserves your brilliant ink and wash method to 14:30 more aptly represent it ⭐️ I am subscribed as of now and wishing you a happy anniversary from Ontario, Canada ❤🇨🇦💫

This is great! I remember being SO SHOCKED when swatches of different brands of Payne's Grey and Neutral Tint were SO different. Some were blue. Some were purple. Some were brownish? Some were what I would call true greys. This was before I knew about pigments, though. So it makes TOTAL sense looking back.

I'm most familiar with cotman's Payne's grey and I love it so much, but qor's look so beautiful! I'm definitely more into indigo but I'll reference your video when I want to try Payne's grey 🥰

I have DS payne’s gray and mix it with my other DS watercolors to create deep skies, shadows, rocks, oceans, etc. The Michael Harding looks stunning though! 😊

wow the two winsor and newton tubes are so different from each other! im on my last bit of a daniel smith tube now, and have m graham to try next. hoping I like m graham's just as much/more than I like my daniel smith or ill be sad!

I haven't played around enough to have a favorite--also I'm finding that I pretty much like them all! My current palette has the Payne's Grey from a tube set I got by Art Whale. I have several by more professional brands than that, but when I made this palette I was going for mostly single pigments, and this particular Payne's Grey variant was the only one I had on hand that had only 2 pigments instead of 3. I did just order a tube of the Daniel Smith and am excited to try it.

I love Qor’s Payne’s Grey but I also use Daniel Smith’s very granulating blue-grey Sodalite Genuine (and sometimes mix the two). I know this is a weird question but I have a tube of Daniel Smith’s Payne’s Grey and I just can’t tolerate the sulfur smell - like rotten eggs. Did you notice if your Daniel Smith Payne’s Grey had this odor? Thank you so much for this comparison!

I like the more turquoise Payne’s Greys

I only have 1 paynes grey in my palette by M Graham. My favorite grey is a mix of PBk 36 and PR122. I also love sodalite genuine (very blue leaning dark granulating grey)

Daniel Smith, Winsor Newton and Roman Szmal. But to be honest I love them all. Next Jackson’s order I bet a tube will sneak in.

Okay, guess what... of those you swatched, I'd pick your "red herring" #8, followed by the Senellier. In my current palette, I use the renesans payne's grey and the kuretake blue grey deep, which is effectively their equivalent. Main use is stormclouds (especially the renesans) and any off-black that just isn't an 'indigo job". Great video, thx!

If someone wants the real deal, to use it as mr Payne (who invented it) did, then Rembrandt is what resembles the original. Winsor & Newton Cottman comes 2nd, Van Gogh 3d and if you just want to use it, for example on monochrome sketches and not the way that color was used by Payne, then I'd suggest the Winsor & Newton Professional.

My favorite Payne's Gray is Winsor & Newton professional watercolor.😊
