Description:

Benzidine Orange is a vibrant, intense orange watercolour pigment known for its bold, fiery hue and high tinting strength. This pigment produces a bright, warm orange that leans slightly toward red, making it ideal for capturing the energy of sunsets, autumn foliage, and bold floral compositions. Its strong colour saturation allows for vivid washes and striking highlights, giving depth and warmth to any artwork.

Benzidine Orange is semi-transparent, allowing for a balance between vibrant opacity and luminous layering. It mixes well with both warm and cool colours, creating brilliant reds when blended with yellows or rich, earthy tones when combined with blues or greens. Its ability to produce dynamic mixes makes it a versatile pigment for a variety of applications, from dramatic skies to natural landscapes.

The pigment is appreciated for its lightfastness and stability, ensuring that the vividness of the orange remains durable and bright over time. Whether used as a focal colour in a composition or blended for softer, nuanced tones, Benzidine Orange adds warmth, energy, and intensity to a watercolour palette. It's a favourite for artists seeking to infuse their work with the boldness and vitality of a glowing, warm orange.
