Hue or substitute.

The name traditionally means lead white (PW1); this tube uses other pigments. The name promises lead white (PW1).

Lead white is toxic, but it dries quickly into a tough, flexible film that many painters prize. Hues of titanium and zinc are safe; zinc can make paint films brittle over time.

Compared with Cremnitz White (W&N Artists'):

  • Opacity: semi-opaque here, opaque in the genuine.
  • Safety: this hue has no lead; the genuine does.
