Hellebore Purple is a dull, violet hue inspired by the spring blooms of dark purple hellebore flowers.

Artist Notes:  A moody, atmospheric hue, Hellebore Purple is an excellent choice for dark botanicals and for capturing shadows in landscapes.  Combine Hellebore with Hansa Yellow Light or Gamboge for green-golds and browns.
