Tomato 155

Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Red, Viridian Green and White

The third of the series, this one focuses on the green. This tomato does not show the other colors much. I tried to get more color into it, but as transparent a viridian is, it can hold it's own with these colors. The shadow side brings out the blue tones of Viridian as the top of the tomato shows the chartreuse that is the result of adding yellow and white. A wide range of blueish- green and olives can be obtained with these colors-could be useful for grapes, granny smith apples, limes and certain foamy ocean waters.
