A true, deep, indigo blue. Formulated to work perfectly as a rich blue to mix with our Useful Greens. Indigos formulated with modern pigments are overpowering in mixtures and too green…always landing at a minty green that’s easy to get other ways and too cool in temperature.
Our indigo is softer in intensity, so it works so much better with the colors already on your palette. We put time and effort into striking the right balance between mineral and modern pigments. By formulating our indigo with earthy, and moderate to low tint strength Ultramarine Violet and Raw Sienna, we give artists an Indigo with more range and subtlety. Indigo offers the depth of a chromatic black without overwhelming the palette, while providing easy access to smokey blue glazes when thinned. It also greys down easily in tints and is mutable in mixtures.
