Dioxazine Violet
~Shell~
Greenleaf & Blueberry Artisanal Handmade Watercolors

 

Color Name: Dioxazine Violet
Pigment: Dioxazine Violet
Pigment Index No.: PV37

Description: A robust purple with a subtle red undertone.  Wide value range, intense tinting strength.

 

Like our Quinacridone Magenta, Quinoxalinedione Yellow, and Phthalocyanine Blue and Green, Dioxazine Violet is a synthetic/natural hybrid, which means it is a synthetic single pigment bound to a natural mineral base.  As a result, these colors will have behavior characteristics in common with both synthetic and natural pigments.  These won't handle the same as synthetic colors from other paint lines.

As specialists in natural pigments, why on earth are we offering this color?  We are very intentional when we stray from natural and historical pigments.  This hue is simply not available on the natural pigment spectrum.  Tyrian Purple would have to be the most famous natural purple.  However, it is tooth-shatteringly expensive, and it is an animal product that is procured by either killing or harassing sea snails.  Where the pigment that nature offers is unsuitable (too toxic, unstable, too rare, unethical), we turn, with much thought, to modern alternatives.
