High concentrations of the same premium pigments and pure gum arabic as Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors result in optimal density and opacity without whites or other fillers. 17 of the line’s 22 richly saturated colors are formulated with a single pigment for clean color mixtures, and every color in the range offers exceptional lightfastness.
Wonderful on both light and dark surfaces, these professional gouache colors allow for a full range of lifting and staining techniques. Apply colors as mass tone straight from the tube for rich, full-bodied solids with single brushstrokes or temper colors smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers.

Cerulean Blue
- Pigment code
- PB35
- Type
- inorganic
- Chemical name
- cobalt(II) stannate
- Chemical formula
- CoO n SnO2
- Properties
- Cerulean Blue is the standard cool blue, considered the traditional counterpart to Ultramarine, and is often used for painting atmospheric shades. It is quick drying and retains its color well, better than any other blue, in oil paint form. However, it tends to granulate or become chalky in watercolors. It has limited hiding power, is semi-opaque, and is easy to control. Its tinting capacity is low, so it can become lost when mixing.
- Permanence
- Cerulean Blue has excellent permanence. It is very stable and lightfast.
- Toxicity
- Cerulean Blue is moderately toxic if inhaled or ingested and slightly toxic if it comes into contact with skin.
- History
- The name Cerulean Blue comes from the Latin word caelum, meaning sky. This pigment was discovered in 1805 by Andreas Hopfner, but it was not widely available until introduced by Messrs. G. Rowney & Co. in England under the name coeruleum in 1860 for use in aquarelle and oil painting. It was produced by the action of heat on cobalt oxide and other metallic bases.
- Description
- Bleu Celeste, Caeruleum, Coelin, Coeruleum.
