Pigment Composition and Permanence: 

Pigment Name: PG7-Phthalo Green

Pigment Type: Organic 

Properties

Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high-intensity colour used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue.

It is slow drying and an excellent base colour for mixing a range of bright greens.

Phthalo Green is considered an excellent alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well, and can be used to emphasize mineral colours in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high so it can overpower other colours. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.

Permanence

Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. Due to their stability, they are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.

Toxicity

Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.

History

This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been used since 1938.
