Inktense Block 1540 Light Olive for paper and fabric

A Derwent Inktense Block in Light Olive (1540): water-soluble, highly pigmented colour that dries permanently, sold in a box of 6.

Inktense Block Light Olive, colour number 1540, is one of the 72 colours in the Derwent Inktense Blocks range. Derwent gives the block a soft texture and an 8mm core size. Derwent lists use on paper and on porous surfaces including ceramic, wood and fabric, naming silk and cotton. Use the block dry, or add water to make the colour more intense. Derwent formulates the blocks to dry permanently, giving layering without dissolving colour that has already dried.

Order references are AA2302070 (Mega Office Supplies) and 2302070 (Derwent), with colour number 1540. Layering and colour intensity are rated 5 on Derwent's range scale; blendable and strength are rated 3. Mega Office Supplies sells this colour as a box of 6. In the range features, the blocks are marked water-soluble and permanent once dry, with a soft texture.

It is also listed in Art & Craft Supplies, our general collection for art and craft materials across the store. Watercolour Paints is where this Light Olive block is listed, together with the watercolour paint lines we carry.
