Phthalocyanine Cyan (Shell)

PhthalocyanineCyan~Shell~Greenleaf & Blueberry Artisanal Handmade WatercolorsColor Name:PhthalocyanineCyanPigment:PhthalocyanineCyanPigment Index No.:PB16Description:An intense, cool bluethat leans towards green. Wide value range, intense tinting strength.Like our Quinacridone Magenta, Quinoxalinedione Yellow, andPhthalocyanine Green, thisis a synthetic/natural hybrid, which means it is asynthetic single pigment bound to a natural mineral base. As a result thesehave behavior characteristics in common with both synthetic and natural pigments. These wont handle the same as synthetic colors from other paint lines.For our Shell Pans, we use natural seashells, natures answer to the pan. They are lightweight and durable, though have a greater chance of chipping if used roughly.Our Shells, being a product of nature, vary in size, but usually measure between 1.5-1.75cmOur Shells are roughly equivalent to 1/5th of a Half-Pan. Shells are a traditional and historical method of storing color. Cave artists and medieval manuscript illuminators alike chose to store their paints in shells. Our Shells are small enough to help even the most extreme minimalist justify carrying along a dab of color. Another reason that we developed this option is as a way for you to sample our more rare and expensive colors in a more affordable format.Further information about our watercolor paints is availablehere.Please be aware that every monitor and screen displays colors a little differently. We have done our very best to show our colors as they appear in your hand.**Please Note**: These colors are NOT intended for children. Half-Pans are small and therefore a choking hazard. Please use only as intended.All images and descriptions are copyrighted by Greenleaf & BlueberryGreenleaf & Blueberry LLC 2011-2021www.@greenleafblueFacebook
