Note on select colors - Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Indian Yellow, Permanent Tuscan Earth, Olive Green, and Sap Green were originally formulated with mineral spirits, which may result in a slightly stronger scent. This does not affect the quality, performance, or permanence of the paint.
The formula has since been updated to remove mineral spirits. Due to mixed stock, you may receive either version. If you prefer a consistently low-odor option, consider Utrecht Artists' Oil Paint .

Properties
Cerulean Blue is the standard cool blue, considered the traditional counterpart to Ultramarine, and is often used for painting atmospheric shades. It is quick drying and retains its color well, better than any other blue, in oil paint form. However, it tends to granulate or become chalky in watercolors. It has limited hiding power, is semi-opaque, and is easy to control. Its tinting capacity is low, so it can become lost when mixing.
Permanence
Cerulean Blue has excellent permanence. It is very stable and lightfast.
History
The name Cerulean Blue comes from the Latin word caelum, meaning sky. This pigment was discovered in 1805 by Andreas Hopfner, but it was not widely available until introduced by Messrs. G. Rowney & Co. in England under the name coeruleum in 1860 for use in aquarelle and oil painting. It was produced by the action of heat on cobalt oxide and other metallic bases.
