Description

Perylene Maroon, also known as Perylene Red and Perylene Scarlet, is a deep, rich red watercolour pigment with a warm, brownish undertone. This intense, almost wine-like maroon colour is perfect for adding depth and drama to your artwork. Ideal for painting deep shadows, autumn leaves, dark florals, and moody landscapes, Perylene Maroon brings a sense of richness and warmth to any composition.

This semi-transparent pigment offers smooth application and excellent staining properties, allowing you to create deep, saturated layers with ease. When diluted, it produces soft, warm reddish-browns, making it versatile for both bold, dark accents and subtle, muted washes. Perylene Maroon mixes beautifully with other colours, creating rich purples when combined with blues and earthy oranges or muted reds when blended with yellows.

Highly regarded for its excellent lightfastness, Perylene Maroon maintains its vibrant, deep colour over time, ensuring the longevity of your artwork. Artists appreciate its versatility and its ability to create dramatic contrasts, rich shadows, and complex colour mixes. Whether you're working on bold, atmospheric pieces or delicate, layered washes, Perylene Maroon will bring luxurious depth and warmth to your watercolour palette.
