Cobalt blue."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I was suggesting Prussian blue as an alternative to Cobalt. Although I might be being a bit dim and missing a gag somewhere.Comment

Ah, right you are. While I love Prussian Blue, it not quite right (for me) as a sky colour, but I’ll try adding it to Ultra Marine and see if that works.Originally posted by NigelJK View PostI was suggesting Prussian blue as an alternative to Cobalt.

For me it is Tiepolo Blue, the colour of the sky over the Venetian Lagoon.Originally posted by cojak View Post

Tough that first one. Started second guessing it half way though so I think I'll be further right next time. A few I felt i had to pick blue because i did for previous ones but 167 for me.
Second was fun. Got 4 on that but i started going colour blind by the third one.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!
