Description:

Anthraquinoid Red is a rich, cool-toned watercolour pigment with a deep, jewel-like crimson hue. Known for its excellent transparency and smooth flow, this red offers a luminous, vibrant quality that is ideal for glazing and layering. Its cool undertone gives it a slightly bluish tint, making it perfect for capturing the rich reds of roses, dramatic skies, and intense shadows in portraits or still-life paintings.

Anthraquinoid Red has a strong tinting strength, allowing it to hold its own in mixes. When combined with yellows, it produces glowing oranges, while blending with blues creates deep, vibrant purples and muted maroons. Its transparency makes it ideal for creating luminous washes, subtle gradations, and delicate glazes without losing colour intensity.

Highly regarded for its lightfastness, Anthraquinoid Red retains its brilliance over time, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy in the artwork. Artists appreciate its versatility, as it can be used for both bold, saturated areas of red and delicate, nuanced tones. Whether used for creating glowing highlights or rich, layered depth, Anthraquinoid Red brings elegance and richness to any watercolour palette.
