Tri-Art High Viscosity - Cerulean Blue (Hue)

Cerulean blue is the essential sky blue. This expertly formulated Cerulean Blue Hue is an economical alternative to genuine cobalt stannate. Comprised of ultramarine blue, titanium white, and phthalo blue (green shade), our Cerulean Blue Hue has a deep warm blue mass tone with the cooler, slightly green undertone of genuine cobalt stannate. Cerulean Blue is valued for its opacity, making it a highly versatile colour, both as a mixing compliment and for its mass tone.
