Mayan Red - Mayan Red is both fascinating and distinctive with a range of color it produces which is truly remarkable. The range transforms from a natural strong red, to a clear intense rose, to sublime smooth pinks. Used to adorn the murals and sculptures of the Mayan people, this remarkable red has remained vibrant even when exposed to more than a thousand years of severe heat and humidity. Now using an eco-friendly process, with methods derived directly from the ancient Mayans, this unique, metal-free pigment is available to you. Its versatility, durability and exquisite hue will make it a color you'll reach for again and again.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
