Umton is a Czech brand producing professional-quality artist paints and art mediums, including oil, watercolor, and tempera gouache. The company’s roots date back to 1910, with the Umton name officially established in 1996. Today, it is recognized as the leading artist paint manufacturer in the Czech Republic.
Umton produces only professional-grade, artist-quality colours made from pure, high-quality pigments, without separate “student” lines. The paints are renowned for their excellent lightfastness and durability. Oil colours are bound with refined linseed or safflower oil, and each product is marked with its specific chemical composition and light-resistance rating.
