Description
A unique hue, the greenish nature of this blue really doesn't appear with any other pigment.
Rich, deep and a good tinter, it can easily manipulate other colours with its coolish edge. Perfect for landscape painting and excellent for subtle 'greyish' blues. It's also excellent on the palette in opposition to a warmer blue for example ultramarine blue.
The pigment Cobalt Stannate was introduced in 1870 under the name “Cerulean”, i.e. sky-blue, in imitation of a Roman pigment of that name.
An exceptional version and very good value.
