Color Characteristics

🌿 Classic Natural Green – Grass Green offers a rich, mid-tone green that perfectly captures the appearance of thriving vegetation. Neither overly cool nor heavily yellow, it delivers an exceptionally versatile natural green suitable for countless subjects.

🎨 Strong Opaque Coverage – The highly concentrated pigment formula provides bold, even coverage with excellent hiding power. It layers beautifully over lighter colors and remains vibrant when applied atop darker shades.

☀️ Excellent Lightfastness – Premium Swiss pigments help preserve the brilliance and freshness of the color, ensuring your artwork maintains its vitality over time.

Performance & Techniques

🖍️ Smooth Dry Application – Applies effortlessly to paper, cardboard, wood, stone, and other surfaces with Neocolor II's signature creamy texture. The dust-free formula allows for controlled layering, blending, and detailed mark-making.

✏️ Ideal for Sgraffito & Texture Work – The slightly firmer wax composition makes Grass Green particularly effective for scratching techniques, texture creation, and layered mixed-media applications.

💧 Beautiful Watercolor Transformation – Add water with a brush to instantly dissolve the pigment into a smooth, vibrant watercolor wash. The color disperses evenly across the surface without graininess, creating luminous transparent effects and rich painted passages.

🎨 Outstanding Mixing Color – Blend with Lemon Yellow (No. 240) for brilliant spring greens and fresh highlights, or combine with Cobalt Blue (No. 160) to develop deep woodland tones, forest shadows, and complex landscape gradients.
