Quinacridone Magenta - This deep red violet disperses evenly and moves from deep darks to clear, glowing washes. Like all Quinacridones, it is an extremely lightfast organic pigment. In terms of complementary couples, Quinacridone Magenta works especially well with yellow greens. Highly durable and extremely transparent, all the Quinacridone colors excel in vivid clarity and intensity. The Quinacridone family of colors (pronounced kwin ak ri doan) are high-performance pigments with outstanding transparency and color intensity. Ranging from pink to purple and gold to sienna, they are lightfast with a clarity traditional pigments cannot match. These modern synthetic colors were created in the 1960s for use in automotive paints, where brilliance and lightfastness are essential.
