Williamsburg Oil Colour - Green Gold (37ml)

Green Gold, PY129, is a semi-transparent Copper Azomethine Green pigment. The colour of this green out of the tube is that of a picholine olive. It is a dark yellow-green colour that we associate with the fruit but is less pale than most olives. Green Gold retains a satiny sheen which helps it retain a dark masstone. The beauty of Green Gold is in its undertone and tint. At first the undertone appears as a very transparent virgin olive oil colour but then it imparts an amber glow within that almost contradicts its masstone and stuns the viewer. The tint of Green Gold is clean and such a departure from its parent colour that it is hard to believe it is from the same paint and if pressed to compare, the tint colour is similar to Nickel Yellow.
