Description:

Chrome Oxide Green (P.G. 17) is a deep, earthy watercolour pigment known for its rich, muted green tone with a slightly grey undertone. This pigment embodies the essence of natural foliage, making it an excellent choice for artists seeking to capture the depth and complexity of forest landscapes, shadows, and botanical subjects. Its subdued, organic colour brings a sense of stability and grounding to compositions, perfect for adding realism to nature-themed artwork.

As an opaque pigment, Chrome Oxide Green offers excellent coverage and allows for smooth, even washes that retain their intensity. When used at full strength, it provides a strong, dark green, while diluting the pigment yields softer, more transparent greens suitable for subtle highlights or backgrounds. Its granulation adds a natural texture that enhances the organic feel of foliage and earthy landscapes.

With outstanding lightfastness, Chrome Oxide Green maintains its rich hue over time, ensuring that paintings remain vibrant and true to colour. This pigment mixes well with other colours, producing a variety of natural greens and muted tones when combined with yellows or earth colours. Artists appreciate Chrome Oxide Green for its versatility and reliability, making it an essential addition to any watercolour palette, especially for those focused on landscape and botanical painting.
