Quinacridone Purple - Quinacridone Purple is a rich, powerful and juicy purple with a slight reddish cast. It's non-granulating, so washes are smooth and controlled. This purple mixes beautifully and is a luscious, versatile color. Quinacridone watercolors flow beautifully for extremely smooth washes, have incredible depth of color and can be lifted easily while still wet. They're exceptionally strong yet transparent, ideal for glazing, and many artists use them as vibrant replacements for earth colors. Understandably, they've been very popular colors since their introduction - people just love 'em. 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.
