Colors in Monet's Palette • Monet used quite a limited palette, banishing browns and earth colors and, by 1886, black had also disappeared. Asked in 1905 what colors he used, Monet said: "The point is to know how to use the colors, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit. Anyway, I use flake white, cadmium yellow, vermilion, deep madder, cobalt blue, emerald green, and that's all." 2 • According to James Heard in his book Paint Like Monet, analysis of Monet's paintings show Monet used these nine colors: • •Lead white (modern equivalent = titanium white) • •Chrome yellow (modern equivalent = cadmium yellow light) • •Cadmium yellow • •Viridian green • •Emerald green • •French ultramarine • •Cobalt blue • •Madder red (modern equivalent = alizarin crimson) • •Vermilion • •Ivory black (but only if you're copying a Monet from before 1886) • So, equip yourself with a white, an intense yellow and red, a bright blue and green, and get painting!
