Don't know if regular oil colors will have an adverse effect on gelatin silver prints or on digital prints.
However, Marshall's are what is called transparent oil colors so that would be a property of a regular oil color to look for.
Some oil colors are opaque or semi-opague and will make the underlying image disappear - sometimes a not good thing.
Cheers,

Can anyone here give me a reason why I shouldn't use a good brand of regular artist's oil paints instead of Marshall's Photo Oils for hand coloring photographs?
The tiny tubes of Marshall's, that split open and squirt paint everywhere when I try to twist off a stuck tube lid, have caused me to run out of patience.
