Prussian Blue (PB27) Mixing Chart

Oil mixing chart pairing Prussian Blue (PB27) with six pigments, from masstone to tint.

Oil paint mixing chart for Prussian Blue. Top left: a swatch of pure PB27. Top right: PB27 tinted with titanium white (PW6). Below, six gradient columns mix PB27 with, left to right, pyrrole red (PR254), dioxazine violet (PV23), quinacridone violet with dioxazine violet (PV19/PV23), red iron oxide (PR101), benzimidazolone yellow (PY154) and yellow iron oxide (PY42); each column runs from mostly PB27 at the top to mostly the second pigment at the bottom, with tube-strength paint on the left and medium-thinned paint on the right.

The top row shows Prussian Blue (PB27) alone (left) and tinted with Titanium White (PW6) (right).

Each column below blends PB27 with one other pigment – bluest (mostly PB27) at the top, grading to the partner pigment at the bottom. Within a column the left side is paint straight from the tube; the right side is the same mix thinned with medium, so it reads more transparent.
