Description

Perylene Scarlet is a deep, warm red watercolour pigment known for its rich, fiery hue and exceptional lightfastness. This intense scarlet red has a subtle orange undertone, making it ideal for capturing the vibrant warmth of sunsets, autumn foliage, or dramatic florals. Its strong tinting strength and semi-transparent quality allow for versatile applications, from bold, saturated washes to delicate, layered glazes.

Perylene Scarlet offers excellent transparency, enabling smooth colour transitions and the ability to build depth through glazing. It mixes beautifully with other colours, creating brilliant oranges when blended with yellows, or muted purples and deep maroons when combined with blues. The pigment's high chroma ensures that it delivers striking, eye-catching results, whether used in large washes or fine details.

One of the most valued aspects of Perylene Scarlet is its exceptional permanence and lightfastness, ensuring that the vibrant scarlet hue remains stable over time. Artists who need a reliable, bold red with warmth and versatility will find Perylene Scarlet an essential addition to their watercolour palette, bringing depth, energy, and brilliance to their artwork.
