I've written to L&B to ask about the ratings of their "topic" pigments.

It'll be interesting to see if they respond. Greene's first pastel video paid advertising homage to L&B, but according to him, there was legislation enacted at one point that required L&B to state the constitutent ingredients of their pastels, and they were so adamantly opposed to revealing those trade secrets, they ceased production instead. (Is this so? I don't know. I've worked in pastels but not of late, and I don't know if L&B is on the market.) They seem to be a bit suspicious of enquiries about their products. Greene's hundreds of pastels (his taboret is the size of a barn door) are now comprised of various other manufacturers' products.
