Mixing possibilities from Matisse:

Artists value Chromium Green Oxide not only for its mid-green tone but also for its opacity, covering other colours and underdrawings effectively. Its versatility shines through in creating an array of greens—from green earth tones with Raw Umber or Yellow Oxide to Brunswick greens with Phthalo Green, turquoise dark greens with Primary Blue, or gum tree leaf greens with Australian Blue Gum. Mixtures with Iso Yellow yield warm olives, while Primary Yellow produces grass greens, and Naples Yellow Light creates soft, light greens. Today, Chromium Green Oxide remains as indispensable to artists as it was 170 years ago in Paris when it first emerged as a new colour on the palette.
