1980 Sevres is a lighter, crisp blue compared to the Artist Grade formulation. In mixtures, Sevres can be used to amp up the intensity of Cerulean Blue. Great for depicting open skies, Sevres can be particularly useful towards the top of a composition, where the sky radiates deep rich blues, evoking the clarity and depth of the upper atmosphere. 

Inspired by the iconic glazes of 18th-century Sevres Porcelain, Sevres Blue is a modern interpretation of a classic. Gamblin combined red and green shade phthalo blue pigments in order to create a more balanced blue—you’ll find that it’s warmer than Cerulean Blue Hue while cooler than tints of Phthalo Blue.
