Indigo was one of our first handmade watercolors, a must-have in a palette! This rich synthetic color simulates genuine Indigo and provides a wide range of tones—at its darkest it appears almost black! Genuine Indigo is extracted from the leaves of the Indigo plant (Indigofera Tinctoria) through a fermentation process. It's one of the oldest natural dyes used historically across India, China, and Japan for textiles and printing, and was the only source of the color until around 1900, when it was first formulated synthetically for commercial use.

Case for Making Synthetic Indigo
Indigo was one of our first handmade watercolors, a must-have in a palette! This rich synthetic color simulates Genuine Indigo and provides a wide range of tones—at its darkest it appears almost black! Both colors are fantastic for layering, glazing, and color mixing (a little bit goes a long way!) and are wonderfully opaque at full saturation. Genuine Indigo is derived from the Indigofera tinctoria plant through a fermentation process, and further refined to achieve greater saturation and intensity.

We're so excited to offer a curated, rotating selection of our handmade watercolors in Art Toolkit's cutest mini pans, so you can build your own ultra-portable set!

The mini pans are exactly half the length of Art Toolkit's standard pans, so you can mix-and-match sizes in your palette!
