PRUSSIAN BLUE — N.420
EN
The first modern synthetic pigment, discovered by accident in Berlin in 1704. PB27 (ferric hexacyanoferrate) appears near-black in masstone but opens into cool, silvery blue-greens in glazes. Very high tinting strength. It is exceptional for dark naturalistic greens and portrait shadow passages. Note: its lightfastness becomes less reliable in very pale tints mixed with white.

Le premier pigment synthétique moderne, découvert par accident à Berlin en 1704. PB27 (hexacyanoferrate de fer) apparaît quasi noir en masstone mais s'ouvre sur des bleu-verts froids et argentés en glacis. Très fort pouvoir colorant. Il est exceptionnel pour les verts naturalistes sombres et les passages d'ombre en portrait. À noter : sa solidité à la lumière devient moins fiable dans les teintes très pâles mélangées avec le blanc.
