Dark Pyrrole Red in watercolor is an intense and vibrant hue, offering excellent transparency and high lightfastness, perfect for creating vibrant mixes and warm tones.
With a little burnt umber, it is perfectly darkened and you easily get a crimson alizarin shade.
Pyrrole red deep is a remarkable watercolor color that combines brightness and intensity. This synthetic pigment, created in the 1950s, quickly became a staple among artists due to its brilliant color, a deep red with undertones reminiscent of alizarin or madder red. It boasts excellent lightfastness.
When mixed with ultramarine blue, you can create vibrant purples and deep lavender tones, ideal for landscapes and portraits. When paired with yellows, it produces warm oranges, perfect for light effects or autumnal landscapes. Mixing with cerulean blue yields subtle gray-pink tones, ideal for soft shadows or backgrounds.
Thanks to its transparency, Pyrrole red deep is perfect for delicate washes. It is an ideal choice for artists looking to add a modern and vibrant touch to their work, whether for lively portraits, floral compositions, or vibrant scenes.

I really care about who my colors are for. If I do this job it is above all not to satisfy customers or gain market share but to satisfy artists. So I hope that they can be seduced by the power of the colors and their brightness.
