My tube of W&N Artists' oil say's Anthranquinone PR 117, Vehicle: Linseed oil. Not sure what vintage but it is the old label. I compared it with OH 's ACLE with only white (MH Flake #2) added, they were very close in hue and in tinting power and they are both quite stiff out of the tube. This as with everything with me, was very unscientific.

I wonder which oil the Maimeri was ground in? Jerry's lists the Puro line as being made with either safflower or poppy.

Peace,
