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: 3 pigments

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