Ivy, also known as Sap Green, hooker’s green, or nitroso green, is a yellow-leaning green, with a slight earthy/ less saturated tone to it.

PG8 is the original Sap Green pigment which is no longer in production, and therefore becoming rare on the market. LMColors is lucky to be able to offer this beautiful green in our catalogue.

Ivy would work great for landscapes, as the slightly muted tone would lend itself well to grassy plains and foliage.

Other Genuine pigments we carry are Green Indigo, Mayan Blue.
