Description

Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) is a cool, vibrant watercolour pigment made with Phthalocyanine Blue (P.B. 15:3), offering exceptional brilliance and clarity. This intense blue features a subtle green undertone, evoking the dazzling tones of tropical seas and open skies. Its high chroma and purity make it an essential choice for seascapes, landscapes, botanical studies, and abstract compositions.

Extremely transparent, this pigment is ideal for glazing and layering techniques, allowing artists to build depth and luminosity with ease. At full strength, it delivers a powerful, saturated blue, while diluted, it flows into fresh aqua and turquoise shades perfect for capturing atmosphere, reflections, or light-drenched scenes. The high staining property ensures lasting vibrancy, even in the thinnest of washes.

Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) offers outstanding lightfastness (AAA) and long-term colour permanence. It mixes beautifully with a wide range of pigments: blend with yellows for vivid greens or with reds and violets for moody purples and complex neutrals. This versatile, cool-toned pigment is a staple in any serious watercolour palette, ideal for both beginners and professionals alike.
