See: Ultramarine Blue (https://fepy.com/product/daler-rowney-system-3-acrylic-colour-ultramarine-blue-59ml) and Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) (https://fepy.com/product/daler-rowney-system-3-acrylic-colour-phthalo-blue-green-shade-59ml).

Cobalt Blue is a bright, cool blue with strong opacity, while Ultramarine Blue tends to be deeper and can vary in intensity. Both are versatile, but Cobalt Blue provides a more vibrant mid-tone for skies and blues, whereas Ultramarine offers richer depth in shadows and gradients.

Use it for skies and seas in landscapes, bold cool-blue accents in design work, solid color blocks, or as a base for glazes and blends. It also pairs well with whites for tints and with other System 3 colors for layered effects.
