Colour characteristic description and colour mixing from Matisse:

Payne's Grey offers a versatile shading option that avoids the risk of creating muddy or dirty hues, a common challenge when using intense black. Its application extends to shading various colours such as reds, browns, greys, blues, and greens. Due to its semi-transparent nature, artists have the flexibility to layer the paint, achieving a robust black effect when desired. This characteristic enhances the adaptability of Payne's Grey in different artistic contexts, making it a valuable tool for artists seeking nuanced and controlled shading in their compositions.
