Daler Rowney System 3 Acrylic Colour, Emerald, 500ml, Vibrant Green Pigment, Smooth Flow & Strong Coverage

The 500ml bottle provides a generous supply for large canvases or multiple pieces. You can use the paint neat for bold, solid color or thin it with water or an acrylic medium to create washes, glazes, or lighter tints, while keeping the emerald hue bright.

System 3 Acrylic Colour Emerald works well on primed canvas, wood panels, paper, MDF, plaster, and other suitably primed surfaces. For non-traditional surfaces, a suitable primer or gesso is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and color performance.

Apply directly for solid color blocks or use water or an acrylic medium to thin for washes and glazes. For smoother blends, you can mix with a medium to improve flow and control. Testing on a palette first helps you gauge the exact viscosity you want.

The paint has a fast-drying formula: it dries to the touch in minutes and fully cures in about 24–72 hours depending on thickness, ambient temperature, and airflow. Allow thicker layers to dry completely before layering or stacking.

Emerald in System 3 is described as having high opacity, so you often get solid coverage with a single coat, especially on lighter surfaces. On darker backgrounds or when you need a dense, even match, a second coat may be helpful.

Yes, System 3 colours are designed to mix well. You can blend Emerald with other greens or with yellows and blues to create a range of greens. Remember that pigment interactions can shift tone slightly, so test mixtures on a palette first.

Clean brushes and tools with water while the paint is still wet. If the paint has dried, use mild soap and warm water to remove residue. Wipe bottle rims clean and store brushes upright to maintain their shape.

This emerald shade is great for botanical illustrations, vibrant foliage in landscapes, bright accents in abstract works, and glazing over mid-tone backgrounds to build depth. Its high opacity and smooth flow make it versatile for base coats, bold highlights, and layered color effects.
