Dear Richard and Garth,

What confuses me is that the previous tube of Titanium White I had purchased doesn't have any warning (see in the photo). Why this? Should be the same product, same pigments, same vehicle, and, what is more important, AS SAFE!
Maybe only W&N could clarify this.

As for tinting, I did not test it yet, but I put some of my tit and led based whites in my palette to compare.
The photo show 9 whites, and I numbered them and took closer shots:
1- It's from my old 200ml tube of W&N Titanium White, that has no lead warning label. Actually, it says NON TOXIC. It's a cool white, opaque as Tit should be.
2- This is from the new 200ml tube, that brings the lead-warning label. It looks a bit warmer indeed (only if you look very carefully), and glossier. It's hard to say if the difference is on the vehicle or the pigment. I come to no conclusion about the lead. I should contact W&N, to satisfy my curiosity.
