Description

Also Known As: Winsor Red

Pyrrole Red is a bold, vibrant watercolour pigment with a warm red hue, slightly biased toward orange. Its fiery, energetic quality makes it perfect for capturing vivid flowers, sunsets, or striking red accents. Pyrrole Red offers exceptional colour saturation, brightness, and a dynamic touch to any composition.

This pigment has excellent opacity and smooth flow, ideal for bold washes, fine details, and layering techniques. Its strong tinting strength means that small amounts can create intense, saturated colours, yet it blends easily with other pigments. When mixed with yellow, Pyrrole Red creates vibrant oranges, and when combined with blues or purples, it yields deep maroons and violets.

Pyrrole Red is highly valued for its excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its vibrant hue remains stable over time without fading. Its versatility, durability, and brilliance make it a favourite among artists seeking a dynamic, energetic 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 essential for expressive, impactful art.
