Manganese Blue Hue - A cool turquoise blue, Manganese Blue Hue is ideal for creating form or indicating space. It is a medium-staining semi-opaque pigment with wonderful granulating properties. A good substitute for Cerulean Blue, Manganese Blue Hue offers an additional advantage as it mixes well with other non-staining semi-opaques to create a mottled texture in underlying colors.

Note - True Manganese Blue, discontinued from product lines due to environmental concerns and toxic by-product, has been replaced in the Daniel Smith line with a formulation which closely resembles it. The result is a safe, high quality lightfast pigment with the color we adore.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
