Why are there two watercolour whites?
Winsor & Newtonâs two watercolour whites have different uses. Many artists use Chinese White at the end of their painting for highlights, or to dull some colour mixtures during painting. Introduced by Winsor & Newton in 1834, Chinese White is the most popular white in watercolour. It is semi-opaque and has a blue undertone.
Titanium White is the whitest, most opaque white. It has a high tinting strength and a high covering power.
