What color is Sap green?
Sap green is a yellow-green color that has a long history in art and painting.
It was originally made from the juice of unripe berries from the buckthorn plant, which was reduced to a thick syrup and sold in pig bladders.
However, sap green was not very lightfast and faded over time.
Today, sap green is made from a mixture of synthetic pigments, such as phthalocyanine green, hansa yellow, and quinacridone gold.
It is a permanent and lightfast color that can be found in most watercolor, oil, and acrylic paint ranges.
