ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Phthalo Blue is a powerful, high-chroma blue formulated with Pigment Blue 15 (PB15), prized for its extraordinary tinting strength and exceptional versatility. A tiny touch is enough to transform a mixture, producing everything from brilliant sky blues to deep ocean tones with remarkable clarity and intensity.
Its clean, vibrant character makes it indispensable for painting tropical seas, crystal-clear water, expansive skies, contemporary illustrations, and expressive abstract work. It is equally celebrated as a mixing blue, creating luminous greens with yellows, brilliant teals, cool violets, and a wide range of crisp secondary colours that remain bright rather than muted.
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.
• Exceptional tinting strength: Highly concentrated pigment means even the smallest amount produces brilliant colour, making the pan economical while offering tremendous mixing power.
• Great for Mixing: Blends effortlessly with every colour in the Thoovi range to create vibrant greens, brilliant turquoise shades, cool violets, deep neutrals, and countless fresh colour combinations.
• 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.
