Description
An earthy, warm, yellow-green, the yellow oxide pigment mixes perfectly with chromium green pigment to create this hue. It subtlely warms the somewhat cool chromium green.
Interestingly, chromium green was a pigment used in US currency printing, however I prefer the link in the name to the humble olive.
Rich in masstone, with a lovely shifting yellow-green hue. Its tint power is middling and it produces really cracking greyish, green tints.
Good one for landscape painters, it's going straight into my pleinaire box.
