Ferocious acidy blue-green hues and blue undertones come to prominence in mixes with yellows.

Organic – Copper Phthalocyanine Green probably ties with Phthalo Blue and Deep Purple as the strongest pigment in the range. Atomic Tint Power, add it with great care! 

In common with the Blue, it displays, on curing and when used virtually unmixed, a certain tendency to show surface bronzing.

The ruination of many a student’s work, use with great caution!

Always check in a good light as it can silently destroy a painting till seen in a true light when it is too late!

This colour, otherwise known as the embalmer, has been the ruination of many a student’s work as it tends to invisibly leach into all other colours on the palette till one stands back and sees in a good light what has happened, caution!
