Phthalo Turquoise; One of my favorite colors from DANIEL SMITH because of how powerful it is. I love that it can create almost transparent washes, and then, with the next brushstroke, a strong, intense color that’s difficult to lift.

Yes, フタロターコイズ is a deep blue-green pigment with a reddish undertone, intense, vibrant, and very popular among watercolorists around the world.

Ideal for flowers, backgrounds, and skies. It has the perfect darkness of an aurora borealis.

• It’s a Phthalo pigment, which means it’s very intense and highly transparent.
• It has a bright, fresh blue-green hue.
• It’s highly pigmented, so it’s recommended to use it sparingly.
• It’s a lightfast pigment, meaning it won’t fade over time.
  (Lightfastness I = Excellent.)
• High staining: I did a test with the wet pigment and it does not lift completely.

It does not granulate, which is why I decided to try a salt effect with it—look at the beauty you can achieve.

• It’s similar to フタロブルーターコイズ, but with a greener tone.
• It’s more intense and vibrant than ヴィリジアン green.
• It’s more transparent than クロムグリーンオキシド.
