Mayan Blue
Traditionally used to cover the Maya's palace walls and pottery and possibly the skin of human sacrifices which were thrown down holy wells. This intense blue has a turquoise undertone.
Mix with Cobalt Turquoise to mix a wide range of the deepest green-blue and blue-green colours. Using Australian Ghost Gum to lighten the tone gives the sort of mid and light turquoise colours found in the cold oceans.
