Description

Chrome Green is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Chrome Green is a strong, earthy mid-green made from chromium oxide. First developed in the 19th century as a durable, lightfast alternative to less stable greens, this pigment offers deep, natural tonality with mild granulation and excellent permanence. Its slightly muted yet vibrant tone makes it particularly useful in landscape painting, foliage, and classical palettes where naturalistic greens are needed.
