The color of green earth pigment can range from yellow-green to sea-green to greenish-gray, is translucent in oils, having moderate tinting strength and poor hiding power. It is a permanent, stable pigment that is compatible with all media. Green earth is sometimes imitated by mixtures of Naples yellow and Prussian blue.
