Description

Benzidine Orange is a vibrant, intense orange watercolour pigment prized for its fiery, bold hue and high tinting strength. This pigment creates a warm, reddish-orange that is perfect for capturing the glow of sunsets, autumn leaves, or bold floral designs. Its vivid color saturation allows for stunning washes and dramatic highlights that add depth and warmth to any composition.

As a semi-transparent pigment, Benzidine Orange offers the perfect balance between opacity and luminous layering. It blends beautifully with both warm and cool colours, yielding brilliant reds when mixed with yellows or earthy tones when combined with blues and greens. Its versatile mixing ability makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of subjects, from dramatic skies to natural landscapes.

Known for its excellent lightfastness and stability, Benzidine Orange ensures long-lasting brilliance, maintaining its vibrant hue over time. Whether used as a dominant colour or blended for softer, more nuanced tones, this pigment is a favourite among artists who want to infuse their work with bold, radiant energy.
