Ocres del Oeste Collection - Puerto Rico (west)

The Ocres del Oeste collection is always one of our favorites, a palette of 6 colors with pigments that come directly from soils in western Puerto Rico. Its colors are warm, and rich in iron and aluminum oxides. Colors range from browns with an intense chocolate character or more relaxed grays, hematite-rich blood reds, and yellow-orange with a goethite dominance, just like our west coast sunsets.
