Perylene violet is a fascinating, rich, and deep color. Its history dates back to the 1980s when it was developed as a more stable and less toxic alternative to certain traditional violets.
This intense violet is highly valued for its dark tone and excellent lightfastness.
Perylene violet stands out for its slightly brownish hue and subtle purple undertones, making it a versatile pigment. It can be mixed with other colors to create interesting effects: for example, when combined with ultramarine blue or Prussian blue, it yields cooler, deeper violets, while in combination with warm hues like light Isaro yellow, it produces earthier tones. For more intense and original effects, don't hesitate to use it alongside metallic or pearlescent colors.
