Description:

Pyrrole Red is a bold, vibrant watercolour pigment known for its intense, warm red hue. It sits on the warmer side of the red spectrum, with a slightly orange undertone that brings a fiery, energetic quality to any composition. Pyrrole Red is perfect for capturing the vividness of flowers, sunsets, or striking red accents in artwork, offering exceptional colour saturation and brightness.

This pigment has excellent opacity and a smooth flow, making it ideal for bold washes, fine details, and layering techniques. Its strong tinting strength means that even small amounts of Pyrrole Red can produce intense, saturated colour, yet it remains versatile enough for blending with other colours. When mixed with yellows, it creates vibrant oranges, and with blues or purples, it yields deep, rich maroons and violets.

Pyrrole Red is also highly valued for its exceptional lightfastness, ensuring that its bold, fiery hue remains stable and doesn't fade over time. Its versatility, durability, and vibrancy make it a favourite among watercolour artists looking for a dynamic red that can be used for everything from dramatic highlights to subtle glazes. Pyrrole Red adds warmth, energy, and brilliance to any watercolour palette, making it an essential choice for creating expressive, impactful art.
