Phthalo Blue's rarity in the natural world makes it a versatile tool for artists, allowing the creation of colours unmatched by any other pigment. It proves particularly valuable in crafting various greens. The mixture of Phthalo Blue with Aureolin or Transparent Yellow Oxide produces dark Hooker's Green, with each combination offering distinct character. Modern alternatives to the original recipe for Hooker's Green ensure permanence and vibrancy.

Beyond traditional greens, Phthalo Blue combined with Cadmium Yellow Light or Cadmium Yellow Medium produces bright, unnatural greens found in man-made objects. For natural-looking olive greens, mixing Phthalo Blue with Iso Yellow or substituting it with Cadmium Orange yields satisfying results. The versatility extends to sky colours, with Australian Sky Blue complementing Phthalo Blue to achieve the perfect blue for various atmospheric conditions.
