Phthalocyanine Blue (37ml Acrylics)
Green-Blue, Transparent

Phthalocyanine Blue is a powerful, transparent green-blue which needs to be handled with some care. It has been chosen because it will give very bright greens when mixed with our Hansa Yellow and a wide range of transparent blue greens with Phthalocyanine Green. Such clear blue greens cannot be mixed any other way.

Further Information
A bright, powerful green-blue. Valued by artists for its transparency, it gives very clear washes when well diluted. PB15 is divided into distinctive commercial types. PB15 : 1, PB15 : 2, PB15 : 3 etc. There is little difference between them in chemical make up and all are equally lightfast. The color varies slightly between the various types, some being greener than others.

Rated 11 (very good) as a watercolor and 1 (excellent) as an oil paint, acrylic or gouache following ASTM testing. An excellent all round pigment.
Phthalocyanne Blue is very powerful and has to be handled with some care as it will quickly influence most other colors in a mix. Non-metallic preservatives.
