Service Description

The Zorn Palette (also known as the Apelles Palette) comprises four colours thought to have been used by the Swedish portrait painter Anders Zorn (18 February 1860 – 22 August 1920). These colours are Genuine Cadmium Red, Ivory Black, Titanium White and Yellow Ochre. There is evidence that this palette has been in use by painters since the 4th Century BC.
