This emerald green is a unique innovation of the older arsenic-containing emerald green. The pigment is Phthalocyanine Green, which is a strong blue-green shade with exceptional intensity and transparency.

This color arose from 1930s research into synthetic dyes, a spin-off of the industrial launch of Phthalocyanine Blue in 1935. It was first sold commercially around 1938 as a potent, lightfast, and stable alternative to toxic, older green colors such as the arsenic-based emerald green.

Safer and stronger: The color offered superior intensity, duration and versatility and became a major advancement.

Tinting power: Its high tinting strength allows the creation of deep, rich and cool green colors, even with small amounts, thus replacing older pigments.
