Bring brilliance and clarity to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Helio Cerulean (Colour No. 479, Series 1). This modern cerulean blue is derived from specially treated Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15:3), formulated to deliver exceptional transparency, lightfastness, and versatility in watercolour applications.

Helio Cerulean offers a clean, bright blue tone close to cyan, making it a foundational colour for mixing and glazing. Its semi-transparent character produces radiant washes and smooth gradients, perfect for skies, seascapes, and cool-toned compositions. When blended with yellows, it yields fresh, luminous greens ideal for botanical or landscape painting.

Each Horadam Aquarell colour is crafted with Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, ensuring excellent rewetting properties, superior pigment dispersion, and consistent colour flow. Even when dried on your palette, the paint can be easily reactivated without losing brilliance or strength.

With over 150 professional colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment hues for pure, predictable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to lead in quality, craftsmanship, and innovation.
