I must apologize for being so redundant. I should have known that there are
members of iris-L who are very familiar with pigment. As always, I become a
little too excited when given the rare opportunity to utilize my Fine Art
degrees.
Somehow, in my enthusiasm, I skipped an important thread in the
conversation and responded anyway. I guess that this implies that there
really IS a Thalo Blue, since two of us think so independently of one
another.

Sorry about that,
