Prussian Blue has sat on artists' palettes for the best part of three centuries, and it still earns its place in a modeller's toolbox today. It's a deep, slightly greenish-neutral blue that adds real depth and power to any blue mix, pulling controlled, rich nuance out of a base that might otherwise sit flat. Old pigment, modern hobby — it still does exactly what it's always done.

Best for

• Deepening and enriching blue mixes
• Rich shadow tones on blue schemes
• Cool glazes and filters
• Shading armour, cloth and vehicle panels

A little Prussian Blue turns a flat blue into something with real depth — it's the colour that separates a basic paint job from a considered one.

A three-hundred-year-old classic for a reason. Thin with white spirit for glazing, or explore the wider oil paints range.
