Indigo vs Indigo

Just like the rest of the world, I'm finding it hard to stay focussed and positive. Thankfully, colour mixing always makes me happy.

Interesting facts: to my eye, Hansa Yellow Deep and New Gamboge look identical on the paper. They are both based on Arylide Yellow. And yet, they are completely different pigments numbers (both Daniel Smith). Go figure.

And then, Indigo, which I've been avoiding for years, because I find it so dull. Well, try a different brand (Holbein) and it's like a different colour altogether. To me, it looks more like a Prussian Blue, but hey, it's glorious, so I don't care! And the tiny mix I did with Hansa Yellow Deep makes me so happy that I want to sing!
