Tri-Art High Viscosity - Cerulean Blue

Cerulean blue is the essential sky blue. Our modern formulation uses Cobalt Aluminate Blue Spinel and Cobalt Titanate Green Spinel to replicate this classic colour. Tri-Art's Cerulean blue is an excellent neutral blue, with a slightly warm, red leaning bias in both mass tone and undertone. Cerulean Blue is valued for its opacity, making it a highly versatile colour, both as a mixing compliment and for its mass tone.
