Thanks




Thank you for your reply, Allan. I was not thinking clearly when I posted although that has always been a question in my mind-- why they make deep and regular, but recently I purchased FRENCH Ultramarine Blue and used it for a few pieces. This is what I really want to know-- why do they make this? It seems to be very weak- perhaps on purpose? Also it is a bit grainier. What makes it this way? I always like to learn a bit about the background of what I have on my palette. Earth colors are easy...so maybe French Ultramarine is just a different grade of stone from France. I did just wonder if anyone was aware of why there are so many versions of this color that I really love and cannot live without. I mean- there has to be a REASON. Then again- maybe not.
