Colour mixing application from Matisse:

While Permanent Green Light can create earthy olive greens, its forte lies in fashioning the vivid hues prevalent in human surroundings. The palette extends to soft pastel greens using Australian Ghost Gum and slightly brighter apple greens achieved with Naples Yellow Light, Nickel Titanate, or Cadmium Yellow Light. Australian Sienna and Burnt Sienna yield olive greens ideal for foliage, while a fusion with Raw Umber crafts a dark green akin to Hooker's Green. Adding Permanent Green Light to pre-existing Hooker’s Green produces the exquisite Brunswick Green seen in heritage spaces like Sydney's Town Hall Station. Collaboration with Prussian Blue births a deep Hooker's Green, while Southern Ocean Blue introduces delightful turquoise greens. The uniqueness of Permanent Green Light extends beyond its standalone hue, influencing an array of distinctive mixtures.
