Cobalt
Oil Colors
We are extremely proud of our cobalts. These
pigments are collected from all over the world and chosen
primarily for their beauty. We carefully grind each pigment
as delicately as possible. Some pigments are left slightly
granular to leave larger surfaces which reflect more light
and insure a suuperb, matte velvet quality. Cobalts, properly
ground, can be the most ephemeral, beautiful, glowing and
mysterious colors available. Cobalts are never electric. |

Teal
Cobalt Titanate Green Spinel - PG50
 Opaque
/ Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A very, very strong color. This is not a mix or tint, but
the absolutely most intense turquoise we have ever seen. A
pure cobalt with no adulterants. It is very exotic, almost
Caribbean or Moroccan in feeling. |

you another! |
