Description:
Quinacridone Magenta is a deep, vibrant, and cool-toned watercolour pigment known for its intense pinkish-purple hue. This versatile pigment offers a striking balance between red and purple, making it ideal for a wide range of subjects, from florals and sunsets to abstract compositions. Its radiant, jewel-like quality and exceptional transparency allow for luminous washes and vivid layers.
Highly transparent and smooth, Quinacridone Magenta is perfect for glazing and layering, providing rich, deep colour without losing clarity. In concentrated form, it produces a strong, intense magenta, while diluted applications create soft, cool pinks with subtle violet undertones. It mixes beautifully with other colours—blending with blues for vibrant purples and with yellows for glowing, warm reds or oranges.
Quinacridone Magenta boasts excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its brilliance remains stable over time. Artists love this pigment for its adaptability and its ability to create both bold, saturated areas and delicate, ethereal washes. Whether used for glazing, mixing, or standalone applications, Quinacridone Magenta brings a vibrant, glowing depth to any watercolour palette.
