Phthalo Turquoise

This DANIEL SMITH exclusive is a favorite of artists. It moves from a deep dark turquoise to a thin film of robin’s egg blue in a single wash, making a remarkable transition from ground level to sky areas of garden florals. Use this pigment alongside purples, or to paint a lake in summer.

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.
