Emerald Green (847) Phthalo Green PG36 is a transparent, cool, bright, high-intensity colour—an excellent base colour for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a good alternative to Viridian because it is intense, mixes well, and can be used to emphasize mineral colours in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so that it can overpower other colours.
