A mid-19th century metallic oxide, with solid covering power and little tinting strength.
It is a heavy, vegetable green which can be surprisingly enlivened by adding yellows.
Landscapists find that its range in mixes and hues makes it a staple green.
It acts very well as a complementary to active red hues.
