- Description from the manufacturer
-
Cobalt Blue (cobalt aluminium oxide) was developed in 1802 by Louis Jacques Thénard, who described it as ‘a blue colour as beautiful as Ultramarine’ (referring to the historical Ultramarine Blue pigment, made with the mineral lapis lazuli, which was highly prized at the time). Unlike the clean transparency of modern Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue has a slightly ‘milky’ quality and it has a moderately low tinting strength.

Color mixer is an experimental feature using Mixbox: Pigment-Based Color Mixing. (Mixing within the sRGB gamut, assuming the colors were opaque colors.)Color mixer is an experimental feature using the paints' spectral curves, measured on masstone to predict the mixing path, assuming the paints were opaque.
