Description:

Cobalt Violet Dark is a deep, cool-toned watercolour pigment known for its rich, velvety violet hue with subtle blue undertones. This sophisticated and moody colour evokes the depth of twilight skies and the richness of purple flowers, making it ideal for capturing bold floral compositions, dramatic landscapes, and atmospheric effects. Its deep, regal tone brings a sense of luxury and depth to any painting, perfect for adding shadowed areas or creating focal points.

Cobalt Violet Dark is semi-transparent, offering smooth, even washes and beautiful layering capabilities. In full strength, it produces a rich, intense violet, while diluted, it softens into dusky purples and muted lavender shades. Its slight granulating texture adds extra dimension and interest, making it especially useful for adding texture and depth to washes and backgrounds.

Renowned for its excellent lightfastness, Cobalt Violet Dark retains its deep, cool violet colour over time, ensuring durability and stability in the artwork. It mixes beautifully with other pigments, creating vibrant purples when combined with blues or muted, earthy tones when mixed with warmer colours. Whether used for bold, dramatic effects or soft, mysterious transitions, Cobalt Violet Dark is a versatile and essential pigment for artists seeking to create depth and richness in their watercolour work.
