Get ready to try something new with smaller 5ml tubes. Formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards, every batch is thoroughly analysed for its performance qualities – lightfastness, colour value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density and viscosity.
Paint everything you can imagine with vibrant and consistent colours that can be easily mixed for even more variations.
Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like color or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals.
Ultramarine Blue and French Ultramarine both contain pigment PB29, but Ultramarine has a smaller pigment particle size and is slightly greener and cooler than French Ultramarine, which has a larger pigment particle size and is slightly redder and warmer.
