ShinHan Professional Oil Color
We believe that the inspiration and excitement from seeing a finished masterpiece should be experienced continuously with brilliant, long-lasting colors. This is why we put our heart and soul into the development of Korea’s first professional-grade oil color paints in 1978. We understand the importance of the harmony between the artist and the behavior of the colors expressed by the artist. So we deliver products of world-class quality by developing colors through collaboration with highly skilled experts who conduct a wide variety of scientific testing. Experience our 109 colors of ShinHan Professional Oil Color that were developed in consideration of artists’ desires and according to the fundamentals of oil colors.
 
Pure pigments and refined oil
ShinHan Professional Oil Color is manufactured by carefully selecting the finest pigments from all over the world according to the high standards of ShinHanArt Material’s Color Research Institute for rich, vibrant, and bright colors. Our oil paints are refined optimally for each color according to the characteristics of the pigment, and a stable color constitution is attained without errors by applying micro-level data.
 
Improved composition of cobalt and cadmium pigments
Based on years of chemical research, the cobalt and cadmium pigments we use ensure permanent lightfastness that is equivalent to that of inorganic pigments. In environments where there are factors hindering preservation, ShinHan Professional Oil Color undergoes minimal discoloration and yellowing because it does not interact with bacteria that penetrates the colored surface of finished works.
 
Consistent formulation for superb milling of pigments, color mixing and palette use
ShinHan Professional Oil Color is a rich buttery formula that boasts balanced properties and meets the correct standards for withstanding the diverse work environments in various climates around the world. Even after the tubes have been opened the paints do not undergo any deformation over time, feel the same to the touch and can be mixed precisely on the palette.
 
Reliability guaranteed based on dimming, moisture resistance, and heat resistance tests
The color testing team at ShinHanArt Materials carries out tests by the setting the time period on a standard fadeometer to 150 years. All 109 colors of ShinHan Professional Oil Color are first painted on canvas, after which an amount of light equivalent to what would be received at a single point for 150 years is shined onto the canvas. The colors are also exposed to extreme environments, such as 70% R.H. and 60°C, to examine moisture and heat resistance. Based on the results, reliable data is obtained on the lightfastness of the colors for labeling.
