CfM Aqua

There's a lot we can say about this stunner, but to put it simply, we're obsessed! When we started experimenting with recreating emerald green we had also made a bright, saturated green-blue! This is much more of a deep turquoise color and is a lot brighter than our beloved CfM Pacific, which is soft and creamy in comparison to this bold, intense color. They're two different parts of the ocean on opposite sides of the world!

Like CfM Topaz, Aqua contains a deep rich synthetic pigment mixed with a bright fluorescent to give it that dimension and liveliness.  With the different weights of these specific pigments, you'll really be able to see them each stand out in a wash of the color.  The fluorescent, the lighter, lifts out of the heavy synthetic. That's where we fell in love and were inspired to name it Aqua.

Our paints are incredibly saturated and handmade in our shop using high quality pigment and watercolor binding medium that is made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees,) honey, glycerine and distilled water.

Due to the fluorescent pigment used in this blend, the color is not completely lightfast.

Our custom blended colors don't have a Color Index number as they consist of a unique blend of two or more pigments.
