Celadon Green

chromium oxide + cadmium yellow  + titanium-zinc white

A delicate cool, slightly yellowish green that, like many of our pale tints, can play neutral to some colors, a subtle green to others. Historically, it was an iron-based compound related to green earth, used in Europe from Medieval times to the 17th century. The famous Chinese ceramic glaze got its name from this color. Mix it with Iridescent Pearl to effect that glaze-like color. The color is a mix of chromium oxide, white, and cadmium yellow.
