Glacier Blue is one of the colors in the LMColors pastel series.
This is a cloudy blue, leaning towards a more desaturated tone, though highly pigmented. It’s a perfect paint to a thin layer on top of other colors to create an icy effect, hence the name Glacier Blue.
Because of the addition of a white pigment, glacier blue is remarkably opaque and could even be used as a gouache when used thickly.
Glacier blue also works wonderfully as a primary blue, when combined with Raspberry and Sunshine.
