Cobalt Turquoise Deep

No. 507 · Series 5 · 40ml · 60ml · 225ml, 1L, 2.5L, 5L

Inorganic - Cobalt Turquoise Deep is a heavy, dense blue-green with low tint power. It was introduced along with many inorganic metallic pigments from 1830-40. No. 507 has grey-blue undertones that don’t overturn mixes and form interesting effects when combined with the Yellow Lakes. For a landscape painter this is a real “Wow” as it practically paints the hazy atmospheric mists of distant hills itself. Cobalt Turquoise Deep is so beautiful and vivid I hope the colour monitors do it justice.
