Description:

Perylene Black (Green) (P.Bk 31) is a rich, deep green watercolour pigment known for its intensity and versatility. This pigment features a dark, slightly bluish-green hue that mimics the depth of natural foliage and shadows, making it an excellent choice for landscape artists and botanical illustrations. Its unique colour and transparency allow for a wide range of applications, from creating vibrant, lush greenery to subtle, muted tones.

This semi-transparent pigment produces smooth washes that can vary from bold, dark greens to soft, ethereal glazes when diluted. When used at full strength, Perylene Black (Green) delivers a striking depth that can be used to create dramatic contrasts in compositions. Its slightly cool undertone enhances its ability to mix beautifully with other colours, particularly yellows and blues, to produce a spectrum of rich, organic greens and shadowy hues.

Perylene Black (Green) boasts excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its vibrant colour remains stable and true over time. Its granulating properties add an interesting texture to washes, allowing for dynamic and organic effects, perfect for depicting natural landscapes or abstract works. This pigment is an essential tool for artists seeking to explore the richness and complexity of green tones, providing a sophisticated, natural element to watercolour palettes.
