Description
This medium-to-dark warm reddish-blue is highly lightfast and of medium tinting strength. Its sedimentary quality increases its versatility. Mixed with various portions of other blues, French Ultramarine is a wonderful sky pigment. Modify it with Quinacridone Gold for delightful greens that remain colour-coordinated. Mix French Ultramarine with Quinacridone Burnt Orange and be rewarded with an amazing range of blue to brown greys. Mixed with either Quinacridone Rose or Pink, a range of purples result. For another important mix, see Hooker's and Sap Green. | ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent Transparency: Semi-transparent Granulating: Yes Staining: Medium (PB29) |

I have heard about this colour but had to "use up" my straight Ultramarine before I could justify trying it out. I love the subtle difference in freshness and brightness, but still the wonderful characteristics of Ultramarine. Some field testing required, but so far I love this colour.

This ultramarine Blue Daniel Smith watercolour paint has a lovely deep tone and mixes well with other watercolours.
