Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium Cyan Blue 75ml

Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Cyan Blue 75ml

Vivid mid-spectrum cyan: the blue between sky and sea for clean colour mixing and bold passages.

Cyan Blue is the vivid, mid-spectrum blue in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, sitting between the depth of Phthalo Blue and the lightness of sky tones. Based on a blend of PB15:3 (Phthalo Blue) and PW6 (Titanium White), it delivers a clean, fully saturated cyan that reads as bright sky, tropical ocean, and the clearest blue passage in any palette. Semi-opaque and immediately striking, it is particularly effective for bold contemporary colour work and vivid seascape passages. In the ultra-thick heavy body formula, it holds knife ridges and impasto marks without slumping. Dries to a gloss finish with a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Cyan Blue is the fastest route to tropical ocean blue. Layer it over a dry passage of Monastral Cerulean or lighten it toward turquoise with a touch of Turquoise from the range for the most vivid coastal seascape palette.

What Makes This Colour Essential

●

Consistency

Ultra-Thick Heavy Body

Cyan Blue delivers the full ultra-thick Dimension Acrylic Premium formula. It holds knife marks and impasto peaks in bold, sculptural form.

★

Hue

Clean Vivid Cyan

The pre-mixed cyan tone of this colour delivers a ready-to-use vivid blue that sits between pure Phthalo Blue and a sky blue without the additional work of mixing from components.

✓

Versatility

Sea, Sky, and Colour Mixing Primary

Cyan Blue works equally as a bold standalone colour and as a CMY mixing primary, producing clean greens (with yellow) and vivid purples (with magenta) without the adjustments needed from darker blue pigments.

●

Lightfastness

Blue Wool Level 7+ / ASTM I

Rated at Blue Wool Level 7 or above (equivalent to ASTM I), Dimension Acrylic Premium Cyan Blue is formulated to remain unchanged for more than 100 years under museum-quality lighting conditions. Purpose-built for archival and professional work.

Mixing with Cyan Blue

Cyan Blue's position between green and blue in the spectrum makes it a useful CMY mixing primary and a direct shortcut to vivid oceanic and sky tones.

Combine this colour with...

Lemon Yellow → vivid cyan-green for tropical water over sand and bright coastal foliage

Magenta → vivid warm blue-violet and medium purple in a clean CMY mix

Titanium White → pale sky blue and the lightest horizon tints for open-sky landscape passages

Turquoise → vivid tropical ocean blue-green for Caribbean sea and coastal seascape

Ultramarine Blue → deeper, warmer mid-blue for atmospheric ocean passages and deep water

About Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Founded in Australia in 2002, Mont Marte creates high-quality fine art materials for students, hobbyists, and professional artists worldwide. Dimension Acrylic Premium is their flagship heavy body range: an ultra-thick, high-viscosity acrylic formulated for impasto work, palette knife painting, and any technique that demands a paint that holds its shape. With a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating (equivalent to ASTM I), the 48-colour range is built for serious, permanent work. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

Is Cyan Blue useful in a CMY limited palette?

Yes. Cyan Blue's pre-mixed cyan hue makes it a functional C in a CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) limited palette. It produces cleaner greens and purples from this starting point than deeper, darker blues like Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine Blue.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Cyan Blue with a palette knife?

Yes. Palette knife application is one of the primary uses for Dimension Acrylic Premium. The ultra-thick formula sits firm on the knife, deposits a clean hard-edged layer on the surface, and holds the shape of each mark as it dries without slumping. Apply straight from the tube for maximum texture and sharp ridges.

What subjects suit Cyan Blue best?

Cyan Blue is particularly well suited to seascape and coastal painting, tropical subject matter, bold contemporary colour work, and any painting approach that values vivid, immediate blue passages without mixing.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Cyan Blue take to dry?

Thin applications dry in 20-30 minutes. Heavy impasto builds applied with a palette knife can take 1-2 hours to dry fully. Drying time extends in cold or humid conditions. Do not apply a second thick layer over the first until the lower layer has dried completely to the touch.

What surfaces can I use Dimension Acrylic Cyan Blue on?

Canvas, board, wood, air-dry clay, plaster, cardboard, paper, leather, and most rigid plastics. For best adhesion on non-porous or slick surfaces, apply a coat of gesso or acrylic primer first. Dimension Acrylic Premium is compatible with all Mont Marte acrylic mediums, gels, and impasto pastes.
