I believe we cannot avoid the pigment pg50 if we want to mix this color.

Cobalt Turquoise Light as a base. Or…Cobalt Teal mixed with Pthalo Green/white If I had the colour in front of me, I’m pretty sure that I could get pretty close to it… with or without knowing the PG numbers. I use experience and a good knowledge of pigments. That’s in oil paint!

pg 50" likely refers to Pregabalin 50mg, a medication, but it could also refer to a Canon ink cartridge, a VG/PG e-liquid ratio, or a type of pigment.  1. Pregabalin 50mg: Copied and pasted

PG 50 in Daniel Smith watercolour is a cobalt teal, if that helps. But it's a lot different to that oil colour

Interesting Julie   If I am correct Daniel  Smith is an American brand.       Interesting you say cobalt teal which is a newbie to me.    I still think if my colour mixes were used it would be similar to what James is querying. I Googled the gobbledygook I came up with Lol

Well done Paul. Sylvia, Daniel Smith is indeed an American from Seattle. His watercolour has about 260 colours, and they are all very different from other companies.  It's far to many shades. I own 48 and that's fine for my needs. I also don't bother with numbers.....I choose colours. Xx

Paul I did wonder he is rude.   Will ignore him. Julie  I have looked at Daniel Smith paints in the past they are pretty pricey.    I only use a very limited colour range and mix most stuff myself.
