Turquoise

Today I wanted to talk with you about the most complicated (in terms of finding the perfect shade) and my most favorite color - turquoise. Here is the colors I have right now (also i have a turqiouse duochrome by DS, but its more a decorative paint and have not so much in common with the real turquoise. If you will like the color talk I can make you a post about decorative paints tho!)

(you also can download a scan down below to look at it closer)

First three colors are light ones and last are pigmented. Also you can notice that there is one mix of mine, I'll talk about it later.

Holbein's Cobalt Green and DS Amazonite are very close in color but Amazonite is more blue and transparent, since there wasn't used the PW6 pigment (it's that white watercolor made of). Talking about being closer to the perfect turquoise in my head the Amazonite is better, but they both are still mint :DD Also the Amazonite is f* expensive D:

Shinhan's Turquoise Blue Light is the blueest (if you can say that :DD) color of them, but it still have the viridian PG7 pigment and more turquoise than, for example, their Horizon blue. Also it's transparent and just a color I like a lot, bright and pretty *o*

So next comes the mix I talked before. I don't know if you can remember, but about a year ago I was pretty angry in my IG stories about Cotman's Turquoise that was just the same as Holbein's Peacock Blue. So i just mixed it with more PG7 pigment in the Viridian of Holbein, the color i never use because it's the only one shade i really hate in my life). For now it's the closest to the perfect shade, it has enough of green and blue in it. But since it's a mix it's always hard to get the same shade. So! If you have any recommendations for the perfect tube color close to this, i will be really happy to know that!

Next comes the DS Ultramarine Turquoise i got recently hoping that it's the color I'm looking for. And it isn't, but i still like it. It's ways greener than my mix, also it dissolves to green and blue pigments (like a lot of DS paints do, I love this thing but I didn't look for that. Also I can make a post about dissolving paints if you want!)

And the last one, Shinhan Peacock Green, one of my most favorite colors in my palette (but I got it not a long time ago so didn't have a chance to use it D:) It has that perfect blue shade in it, but it's a dark rich color instead of bright saturate turquoise I'm looking for.

So I hope this talk was somehow useful for you, also if you have any reccommendations - don't hesitate! I'm still looking for the perfect turquoise color :D
