Permanent Cerulean Blue
 
Joules & Joules Permanent Cerulean Blue Matte Acrylic Paint presents a medium blue of balanced intensity, semi-opaque, with high tinting strength. Formulated from a combination of pigments PW6 (Titanium White), PB29 (Ultramarine Blue), and PB15.3 (Phthalo Blue), it offers fast drying time, a creamy consistency, and uniform application. It is ideal for both dense layers and glazes, providing clean, luminous nuances that allow precise control of visual effects in pictorial compositions.
 
Cerulean Blue has historical roots in 18th-century European painting, when synthetic pigments replaced naturally sourced mineral ceruleans, making the color more accessible and stable. The modern blend of Titanium White, Phthalo Blue, and Ultramarine unites tradition and innovation, resulting in a pure, stable, and versatile blue capable of faithfully reproducing the delicacy of skies and the depth of seascapes with chromatic accuracy.
 
With a lightfastness rating of I (Excellent), Permanent Cerulean Blue Matte Acrylic Paint maintains its intensity and stability in long-term applications. Its paint film is resistant to diluted acids and alkalis and retains its color under varied exposure conditions. This paint is recommended for artists seeking a high-performance intermediate blue that harmonizes depth, luminosity, and expressiveness in professional work.
