A traditional Kings Blue, indispensable for painting sky and water. Our 1980 formulation is lighter in value than our Artist Grade interpretation of this color. Warmer than our Radiant Blue and slightly deeper in value.
A modern interpretation of a historical color, Kings Blue brings out a warm rich tint, and was prized by royal families of 18th and 19th century Western Europe. Less violet and more opaque than blues formulated with smalt.
