This exclusive DANIEL SMITH color is a stunner – a rich blue-gray with impressive granulation and dazzling, glittery sparkle. Its name comes from the Greek word kyanos meaning dark blue enamel. Thought to promote serenity, concentration and mental clarity, this shiny, translucent gemstone is used for jewelry and heat-resistant ceramics, and now for a watercolor that will add amazing texture and visual excitement to your work.
Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
