Why mix Emerald Green instead of buying it

Mixing Emerald Green yourself lets you approximate an expensive or hard to find tube from pigments you already own, match Emerald Green across paint brands whose factory tubes differ, and rebuild the exact color when you run out mid painting. The recipe above is the working starting point.

Common mistakes

That pigment is a very strong tinter, add it a touch at a time or it will swallow the mix. White cools and chalks a mix as you add it, so tint in small steps and stop before it goes pastel.
