Rublev Colours Watercolor Triad • No. 5

Forest Floor

Mossy greens, leaf-litter ochres, and cool understory neutrals—quiet, believable nature color.

Nicosia Green
Antica
Yellow Ocher L.

Living greens—moss, bark, and dappled light.

Quiet woodland color: lichenous greens, soft shadow, and warm breaks of sun. Two natural green earths deliver believable foliage and ground; Yellow Ocher Light steadies and warms.

Build convincing greens with the Forest Floor Triad.

Layer the green earths for texture; use ocher to catch sunlight. Extend darks and tree-bark notes with the Companion Colors below.
