It is one of the oldest vat dyes - discovered over 100 years ago. It is labeled a "top 40 pigment" by handprint.com. It is an organic pigment and has a large value shift - from dark to about 40% lighter - when it dries.

Thanks.
It's been in my palette for a while. Beautiful
Wonderful 👍 thanks for the feedback
Got Indanthrone Blue with Mission Gold 36 PURE PIGMENT set. Such a great mixing color. I love it! I have that same porcelain pallete ( Meeden $40, instead of Quiller $100). It’s awesome, and I did print out your colors on that pallete . I still love Mission Gold, but am slowly getting some good granulating colors…and now, I’m going to pick up that Neutral Tint by D.S. Thx Kris! - Messy Mendy 👍🖌🎨🙏🏻🤗
Hi Messy. So glad to have you join us in this watercolor community. I'm glad you like your porcelain palette. I love that mixing surface and share it with everyone. I have used Mission Gold paint and like it. But slowly, I migrated to Daniel Smith colors. I tend to like the slightly more subtle colors I can achieve, which is important for landscape and figurative painting. But the Mission Gold is great....and is more affordable. Have a great day!!
This is one of my favourite colours, especially the Daniel Smith version. Mixed with Daniel Smith’s Quinacridone Burnt Orange PO48 it makes a perfect black, with a mixing range going from a cool to a warm neutral.
Thanks for the great mixing suggestion.
I enjoy keeping phalo green blue shade on the palette for mixing transparent turquoise and other greens such as with quinacridone gold to make a sap green and quite a few colors can come from it including making a cobalt green a bit stronger for under water layers etc. I enjoy using PY129 Rich green gold or M.Graham’s version is just as good if not more bang for your buck in place of 3 pigment Green gold with Hansa yellow light works beautifully with good old Phalogreen and a touch of quin gold and indathrene blue for a rich olive or a green that is completely lightfast also. There are just so many mixes. I keep indigo on my palette but took off Payne’s grey since they can all be mixed but I use indigo as a blue by itself or even a green. But I find it has more uses for myself than Payne’s or Jane’s grey which are fast mixes. So many for sure. I also keep the 3 perylenes on my Quiller palette, violet, green and maroon and well there’s all the neutrals plus so many wonderful moody colors and the maroon with tree branches and quinacridones is just superb.
Thank Jennie. Such great recommendations. I also have the Phthalo Green Blue Shade. I never use it by itself, out of the tube, but it does make wonderful mixes. Thanks! ~Kris
Love watching these color mixing videos! Great color. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of what this color can do :)
I've been looking for the right dark blue for my palette.
Glad it was helpful!
Kris, thanks. Mixing colors is a challenge for me. This video is very helpful!
I'm glad you've found it helpful. The more we mix...the more we learn. :-) Thanks for watching and leaving feedback.
One of my favorites, PB 60. But I use PB 66 Indigo, so both have a place on my palette. 😁 Both nice for mixes.
That's great to know. Who makes the Indigo with a single pigment? I'd love to know. Have a great day. PS ~ thanks for watching.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio I've got two "real" Indigos.
One is made by ShinHan (in their artist grade PWC line) and is made of PB 66, synthetic indigo.
The other is from Kremer Pigments and is made of NB 66, the genuine plant based Indigo. It smells...not as bad as their genuine Sepia which unsurprisingly smells fishy.😁
Kremer has a very special assortemen of handmade watercolors, quite a bunch of genuine colors. Take a guess what slate grey is made of...or Ivory Black.
As a curious person I had to get some of this real stuff to learn the look and feel of the original colors.
Thanks for the great information. Very helpful.
I love to mix Indanthrone Blue with Perylene Violet. It mixes a nice dark.
Mixed with English Red/ Venetian Red it can be close to a black. I only had one well on my palette left and it had to be PB60. It replaced my need for Indigo and I use it for landscapes more often.
We sound similar. I don't let myself add a color, unless I remove a color. This helps me keep my palette a bit limited and helps me focus on learning to use a smaller set of paint colors.
I heard that indanthrene blue from winsor and newton is essentially the same thing so that's cool, I was gonna add Indigo next to Paynes Grey on my pallete but after learning I could just mix indanthrene with another color to make the same thing plus a ton of other cool stuff I might reconsider, thanks
I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes. Many of these paints from different manufacturers are quite similar. And there are tons of videos out there that can show you the different paints side by side as you make a choice. I too, like to give myself as many options as possible with my paint, thus the reason for this change for me.
I went with Daniel Smith Rich Green Gold because that is a single pigment color. Close to the same color as your green gold?
What a great suggestion, Nancy. Thanks for sharing. I hadn't noticed that Daniel Smith color before. I also prefer single pigment colors when I can find them. Thanks so much.
