Smalt Blue Color – #496267: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Before Prussian blue arrived in the 1700s and pushed it aside, smalt was the workhorse blue pigment in European painting, powdered cobalt glass, gritty and slightly grey. Rembrandt used it. This smalt blue color keeps that subdued, ground-glass depth, a dusty blue-grey with old-world gravity.
