Rublev Colours Chromium Oxide Green is a high quality, clean medium green pigment known for outstanding stability and permanence. Made from chromium(III) oxide (PG17), this pigment is valued for its strong colour, excellent hiding power, and exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents. It is also highly heat stable, making it a reliable choice for paint making, grounds, fresco work, and outdoor or demanding applications where colour durability matters.
Chromium Oxide Green is one of the most permanent greens available to artists and makers. It is widely used to create lightfast green mixtures, especially when combined with yellows, and it maintains its colour integrity under harsh conditions where many other greens can shift or fade. With a hard, durable particle and low oil absorption, it disperses well and delivers consistent results across a wide range of binders and vehicles, including oils, gums, proteins, acrylics, and resins.
