If anyone can suggest an alternative for the Richeson Siva Ice Blue oil in a tube, I would be very grateful. I found Schmincke Missoni Bluish Grey, but I am only looking at computer screen colours.
I am in the UK, and although Dick Blick and others sell it, they want FOURTY DOLLARS for shipping for a tiny tube costing about $6. Not prepared to do that.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
thanks for this but I think that Michael Harding is not right. The Ice Blue is really just a light bluish-grey. Closest I have found – tho only on screen – is Schmincke Bluish Grey, 1 and 2, but I have no idea if I am near, because I cannot get hold of the Richeson to check!
That is why I am asking here…hoping to find someone who knows the colour well, and can advise with some authority!

will do thanks. Just rather wish I could get the Richeson oil stick, to have something to judge against rather than colours on a screen. This question was put to me by someone and I feel I cannot properly advise how to mix a similar colour without proper info.
I asked Richeson themselves, and they confirmed to use Prussian Blue…no more than the teeniest bit, with Titanium white and a very very small amount of Burnt Umber.
