ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Hooker's Green is a rich, earthy green formulated with PG7, PY110, and PY150, offering a beautifully balanced foliage colour with natural depth and warmth. Originally developed for botanical illustration, it has become a favourite among watercolour artists for its ability to depict convincing vegetation straight from the palette.
Its slightly muted character makes it ideal for mature trees, shaded leaves, woodland scenes, moss, shrubs, and dense landscapes. Unlike brighter greens, Hooker's Green blends effortlessly into natural environments, creating realistic foliage while still remaining luminous in transparent washes. It also mixes beautifully with earth colours and blues to produce an endless variety of landscape greens.
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.
• Natural landscape colour: Its transparent earthy green creates convincing foliage, woodland textures, moss-covered surfaces, and shaded vegetation with remarkable realism.
• Great for Mixing: Blends effortlessly throughout the Thoovi range to create olive greens, deep forest shades, muted neutrals, and subtle botanical mixtures that closely reflect nature.
• 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 very good for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
