Description:

Phthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade) P.B. 15:3 is a vibrant, cool-toned watercolour pigment that delivers a deep, intense blue with a subtle green undertone. Known for its powerful saturation and brilliance, this pigment creates bold, luminous blues that evoke the clarity of tropical waters and crisp skies. Its cool, green-leaning hue makes it ideal for seascapes, landscapes, and modern abstract works, offering a clean, fresh look to any composition.

This pigment is highly transparent, making it perfect for glazing and layering techniques. In full strength, Phthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade) produces a rich, striking blue, while diluted, it transitions into lighter, more transparent aqua or turquoise shades, ideal for creating water reflections, atmospheric depth, or subtle background washes. It is also known for its staining qualities, binding strongly to the paper and maintaining its vibrancy, even in thin applications.

With exceptional lightfastness, Phthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade) ensures that its vibrant colour remains stable over time. It mixes beautifully with other pigments, creating bright greens when blended with yellows or deepening into rich purples when combined with reds. This versatile, intense blue is a favourite among artists seeking a bold, cool-toned colour that can deliver both power and subtlety in watercolour compositions.
