Grumbacher Pre-Tested Professional Oil Colors – (1.25oz/37ml) Permanent Blue

Grumbacher Pre-Tested Oil Paint has long stood for professional quality oil color. Each color swatch has been tested for masstone and mixability, and has been painted by hand. It is further tested by our staff for characteristics such as lightfastness, drying properties, pigment dispersion and viscosity. Draw downs are compared and formulas are altered to ensure that our customers receive the best oil color at the best price. Truly a professional paint, the majority of our colors are single pigment with superior tinting strength and have a lightfast rating of 1-excellent. 

Grumbacher Pre-tested Professional Oil Paint, Permanent Blue (Ultramarine), is made with pure pigments milled in alkali-refined linseed oil. Permanent Blue (Ultramarine) is the lightest of the five Ultramarines Grumbacher offers in Pre-tested Oil Colors. This oil paint’s color has a lightfast, transparent mid-range Blue masstone with a Greenish undertone that has no trace of Red. When mixed with Cadmium Barium Yellow Pale, or Zinc Yellow Hue, Permanent Blue (Ultramarine) produces brilliant Kelly, or the so-called Irish Greens.
