Description
Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and semi-transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like colour or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals. | ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent Transparency: Semi-Transparent Granulating: Yes Staining: Medium (PB29) |

I use this colour a lot and Daniel Smith has the best watercolour paints in my opinion.

A tutor was using this instead of French Ultramarine so I decided to try it. It is slightly cooler than French Ultramarine turn there’s not much difference. It blends nicely.

Love this colour! It blends well and gives both a great lighter blue and then into the deeper blue. Very versatile.
