About this colour

Phthalo Green is one of the most powerful and versatile pigments available to watercolourists - a deeply transparent, intensely chromatic blue-green of synthetic origin. Phthalocyanine Green (PG7) is a modern organic pigment with extraordinary tinting strength, meaning a tiny amount dramatically transforms any mixture.

At full strength it produces a rich, jewel-like blue-green reminiscent of deep ocean water or dark forest canopy. Diluted, it opens into brilliant, luminous teals. Mixed with yellows, it creates a full spectrum of natural greens; with blacks and blues, it yields deep, atmospheric darks.

An essential pigment for the advanced palette. Its strength demands a light hand, but the chromatic range it unlocks is unmatched. Highly lightfast and supremely transparent - Phthalo Green rewards both precision and expressive, gestural painting.

Product features

Each 15 ml tube delivers exceptional colour intensity - vivid at full strength and at the same time luminous and clear when diluted.                  

Endless colour possibilities

Transparent Character

One of the most intensely transparent greens in watercolour - build luminous glazes and glowing layered washes that let the light pour through.

Non-toxic formula

Made with non-toxic additives and safe for all ages and working environments.

Artist grade quality

Professional-grade transparency and vibrancy, perfect for professional artists and beginners exploring the medium.                  

Creamy, soft consistency

Higher glycerine binder than pans and therefore have buttery soft texture that disperses effortlessly in water.

Supreme lightfastness

Highly lightfast pigments rated Excellent which means your artwork stays brilliant for decades.

Perfect for large areas

A tiny squeeze goes a long way. Ideal for smooth, even washes across large sections of a painting.

Why choose tubes?

Watercolour tubes contain more glycerine binder than pans, giving the paint a soft, creamy texture that mixes instantly with water. A small amount from the tube goes a very long way - making tubes ideal for large washes and expressive, generous brushwork.

Leave it to dry - reactivate anytime

Squeeze out what you need and leave the rest on your palette. When the paint dries, simply mist with a little water and it reactivates fully - as workable as when it was first squeezed. No cleaning needed between sessions, and nothing is ever wasted.

Refill your pans

Use tubes to top up empty half- or full-pans in your travel or studio palette. Squeeze into the pan, let the paint cure for a few days, and you have freshly loaded pans ready for use - far more economical than buying replacement pans.

Beautiful pastels with White

Mix Phthalo Green with White to unlock a range of vivid, cool pastel tints - from bright mint and pale aqua to soft sea-glass green. It yields fresh, jewel-like tones that are perfect for tropical floral studies, luminous underwater scenes, and the clean, light-filled greens of a sun-drenched conservatory.
