About this colour

Prussian Blue is one of the most celebrated and indispensable pigments in the watercolourist's palette - a deep, complex blue with a distinctly greenish undertone that sets it apart from the pure cerulean and cobalt blues. Formulated with synthetic iron blue (PB27), it delivers an extraordinary depth that few other pigments can match.

It’s cool, slightly green bias makes it invaluable for painting dramatic skies, deep ocean waters, and shadowed foliage. In heavy concentration it reads as an almost midnight navy; diluted to a whisper, it produces icy, atmospheric washes of rare subtlety. Prussian Blue is also a powerful mixer - combined with Yellow Ochre or Raw Sienna it yields a rich range of naturalistic foliage greens without needing a dedicated green pigment.

One of the most versatile paint used in landscape and seascape painting. Its granulating character adds beautiful texture to atmospheric washes and cloud formations.

Product features

Highly pigmented & vibrant

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

Intermixes cleanly across the entire range of colours for limitless cool-toned and atmospheric combinations.

Transparent character

A beautifully rich transparent blue in watercolour - build deep, brooding layers with luminous glazes that allow light to pass through and reflect back, creating shadows and depths of extraordinary visual intensity and clarity.

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 Prussian Blue with White to reveal a range of cool, misty tints - from steel blue to pale sky - that are perfect for painting crisp winter skies, icy water reflections, and the cool luminosity of moonlit scenes.
