Description

Chrome Oxide Green (P.G. 17) is a deep, earthy watercolour pigment known for its rich, muted green tone with subtle grey undertones. This pigment reflects the natural colours of foliage, making it ideal for capturing the depth and complexity of forest landscapes, botanical compositions, and shadowed areas in artwork.

Offering excellent opacity, Chrome Oxide Green provides full coverage, allowing for smooth, even washes that retain their intensity. When used at full strength, it delivers a strong, dark green, while diluting the pigment results in softer, more transparent greens ideal for subtle highlights or atmospheric backgrounds. Its granulating nature adds a natural texture, perfect for enhancing the organic feel of foliage and earthy landscapes.

With outstanding lightfastness, Chrome Oxide Green preserves its vibrant hue for years, ensuring your artwork stays true to colour. This versatile pigment mixes beautifully with other colours, producing a range of natural greens and muted tones when combined with yellows or earth colours. Whether you're working on landscapes, botanical paintings, or nature-focused compositions, this pigment is an essential addition to your palette.
