Hue or substitute.

The name traditionally means emerald green (PG21); this tube uses other pigments. The name promises emerald green (PG21).

Genuine emerald green contained arsenic and is no longer made, so every emerald green sold today is a hue.

No line in the catalog sells the genuine pigment.

What's in the tube: 4 pigments

Bar widths are estimates: makers list pigments roughly in order of amount but don't publish proportions.

Same pigments is the closest match. Similar mix shares the main pigment. Similar color looks alike but is made differently.
