Series 5

Because Cobalt Teal can be considered simply as a light greenish blue one of its strengths is making light greens and some of them are quite unique and cannot be made with any other pigment. Mixing Cobalt Teal with Nickel Titanate makes the most delightful light apple green that is quite luminous while mixing it with Permanent Green Light makes gorgeous jade greens. A surprising bright yellow green is the result of a mixture with Cadmium Yellow Medium. Soft gray greens are made by mixing with either Transparent Red Oxide or with Hookers Green. These grey greens are a lot like the color of blue gum leaves in the shade.

Blues can also be interesting when made with Cobalt Teal. Try mixing with Australian Red Violet. It seems an unlikely combination but it makes a slightly neutralized dark reddish blue that is unlike any blue in a tube. A very pale gray-blue can be made by mixing Cobalt Teal with Ash Pink. Iridescence holds surprises too. Cobalt Teal with Iridescent white or Metallic Light Gold are delightful. In the end, however, few colors can match the beauty of this color straight from the tube and used pure just like the ancient Egyptians would have.
