Liberating Colours Since 2016
PINKIEST PINK, 2016
In response to exclusive ownership of artistic colours, Stuart Semple created the world's Pinkest Pink and made it available to all artists.
It became a symbol of colour freedom and creative access.
VANTABLACK, 2014
Surrey NanoSystems released a material called Vantablack, promoted as the blackest black. Later, exclusive artistic rights were granted to a single artist, preventing others from using it.
BLACK 3.0, 2018 - Now at Version 4.0
Stuart Semple collaborated with over 1000 beta testers to create Black 3.0, a brushable super matte black acrylic paint absorbing up to 99% of visible light.
Safe to use, water-thinnable, archival, and suitable for many surfaces, available to all except Anish Kapoor.
"A fun little conceptual art piece turned into a big, giant conceptual art piece—the one we all deserved", WIRED
EASY KLEIN, 2021
Inspired by Yves Klein's iconic blue, Easy Klein is an incredibly Kleinish Blue with a rich, ultra matte finish.
Non toxic, easy to apply, and made for artists everywhere.
TIFF, 2021
Stuart Semple also liberated a famous robin's egg blue shade inspired by luxury branding restrictions and exclusive Pantone licensing.
