Description:

A rich, deep blue watercolour pigment renowned for its striking depth and versatility. Often referred to as an "inky blue," it possesses a slightly warm undertone, making it an excellent choice for creating dramatic skies, serene seascapes, and moody shadows. This transparent colour offers unparalleled intensity, producing vibrant, velvety washes with a refined elegance.

When diluted, Indanthrone Blue reveals a softer, more muted side, capable of achieving delicate glazes and atmospheric effects. Its strong tinting strength allows for beautiful mixing, enhancing greens, purples, and neutrals with subtle warmth and depth. Whether used alone or in blends, this pigment adds richness and sophistication to any palette.

Indanthrone Blue boasts excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its deep, captivating tones remain stable and luminous over time. Its versatility and ability to evoke both tranquillity and drama make it a must-have for watercolourists seeking to explore the full spectrum of blues in their work. From bold statements to delicate transitions, Indanthrone Blue (P.B 60) is an essential pigment for artists inspired by the beauty of light and shadow.
