Hue or substitute.

Labeled as a hue: a substitute mixture for the named color. The name promises cobalt.

Cobalt pigments are costly, mix to clean, slightly cool tints and shouldn't be breathed in as dust. Hues cost much less and usually tint more strongly, but their mixes rarely look quite the same.

The genuine pigment:
