Cobalt Teal Blue PG50 Bleu Sarcelle de Cobalt

Stunning colour for painting turquoise blue is a must-have for sunny Mediterranean skies and tropical seas! Mixing with this pigment helps create bright shadows and render the desired patina on a copper pot. An inorganic pigment is considered semi-transparent, non-staining (or low-tinting) and is ideal for glazing methods. Cobalt Teal Blue's ability to create soft edges, lift, and mix readily makes it valuable to watercolour palettes.

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolours for artists, featuring beautiful colours and offering the most from any manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by artists, while many “truly unique” colours are made exclusively by DANIEL SMITH and have become essential to watercolour artists.

PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into PrimaTek Watercolours. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998; since then, many more colours have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have excellent granulating effects that some artists have called “magical.”

Luminescent Watercolours have special optical effects perfect for subjects that exhibit a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colours without the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in colour to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much more robust in tints. The functional properties—staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness—are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colours that DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Other Unique Watercolours come from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations, with colours such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre. Some are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, including Cascade Green, Deep Sap Green, and Green Gold.

DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to create colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing more options for artists.
