Greek Blue
This is a warm blue without any green in it. It is a colour found throughout the Mediterranean, often faded and distressed on shutters and woodwork. It has a chalky look about it yet it is a strong positive colour.

ADD OLD WHITE - to make 'Nantucket'
Add 2 parts of Old White to 1 part of Greek Blue to get a good Cape Cod colour so I called it NANTUCKET

ADD MORE OLD WHITE - to make 'Cornish Blue'
Mixing 1 part of Greek Blue with 8 parts of Old White makes a seaside blue like the blue you see on traditional CORNISH BLUE striped mugs and old fashioned lighthouses
