“First synthetic color of the Industrial Revolution, discovered by accident in 1704 while a chemist was trying to formulate artificial crimson. Cool blue with more muted tint than Phthalo Blue. It has a high tinting strength, is lightfast, and is especially beautiful in its transparency.” -Gamblin Oils

A previous description from Gamblin: ”Prussian Blue has a more muted tint than Phthalo Blue and a high tinting strength. This cool blue is lightfast and is especially beautiful in thin Transparent washes.“ -Gamblin Oils. Gamblin classifies this color as cool.

Preliminary testing indicates that Prussian Blue may not be as lightfast as once was thought, particularly in different mixing whites.
