Inorganic – No. 305 is a mid-19th-century metallic oxide with solid covering power and little tinting strength. It’s a heavy, vegetable green that can be surprisingly enlivened by adding yellows. Landscapists find that its range in mixes and hues makes it a staple green. It does well as a complement to active red hues.
