'CI Pigment Green 36 No. 74265 is used to expand the range of shades not covered by Pigment Green 7 above, ranging from blue to yellow. (Adding more bromine atoms to the molecule increases the yellowness of the pigment.) It retains the lightfastness and the remarkable resistance properties of Green 7, though it is more expensive.
