    Pigment Description

    This is a fascinating pale shamrock green with a note of yellow to it. As a pigment it doesn't have a super strong tinting strength. However another single-pigment green on the palette is welcome. It's hard to find outside of watercolor, so to make it in oil dry pigment was required.

    Victoria Green by Natural Pigments

    When pigments are dry it can be a bit difficult to envision what color they will be in an oil binder. However, it may be helpful to compare Victoria Green to a well-known green, Chromium Oxide, PG17.

    Two bottles of dry pigment. Victoria Green is much more pale and delicate than Chromium Oxide Green, which is a strong olive color
