The Zorn palette refers to a palette of colours attributed to the great Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860 – 1920). It consists of just four colours being yellow ochre, ivory black, vermillion and titanium white. Cadmium red light is commonly used in place of vermilion by modern day artists.

Interesting artist, subject to many influences, some of them mystical. I like his Questioner of the Sphinx, shown here.
