ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Cobalt Blue is one of the most iconic and respected pigments in the history of watercolour. Made with Pigment Blue 28 (PB28), it is prized for its serene sky-blue character, gentle granulation, and exceptional permanence. Softer and less intense than Ultramarine, it produces beautifully balanced washes that feel calm, natural, and effortlessly luminous.
Favoured by generations of landscape artists, Cobalt Blue is perfect for painting expansive skies, distant mountains, tranquil lakes, coastal scenes, and atmospheric backgrounds. Its subtle granulating texture adds natural variation and depth, bringing an organic quality to every wash without overpowering the painting.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• High-Quality Pigment: Made with premium-quality pigments for strong, consistent colour, smooth application, and reliable coverage in every wash.
• The "Full Pan" Guarantee: We fill these 2.5ml pans in multiple layers. Because watercolour shrinks as it dries, we repeat the process so you get a full, generously filled pan rather than a half-empty one.
• Ready to Paint: You won't be scrubbing at the pan to lift colour. Just hit it with a damp brush and it reactivates instantly, ready for smooth, dependable use every session.
• Beautiful natural granulation: The characteristic granulating behaviour of PB28 creates subtle texture and visual interest, making skies, water, stone, and distant landscapes appear more natural and atmospheric.
• Great for Mixing: Mixes beautifully throughout the Thoovi range to create natural greens, muted violets, delicate greys, and classic earth tones without losing its distinctive clarity.
• Travel-Friendly: It's a standard half-pan size, so it drops right into almost any portable palette - ideal for travel, plein air work, or urban sketching.
• Safe & Lasting: Non-toxic and rated excellent for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
