About this product range

Artists who pick up a tube of Classico Oil Colors will find in it just what they need — the artist’s daily bread and butter.

These oil colors are versatile, offering an unsurpassed price-to-quality ratio. Produced by strict principles that yield a top-quality product, they revolutionize the criteria by which an economical (rated “fine”) range is judged. They contain no waxes or thickeners, and no manufacturing shortcuts.

The color palette includes the best original natural earth and true cadmium pigments. Average pigment concentration is very high, and the formulas have been perfected to balance the drying times of all colors. Bright, lively colors with overall harmony in the palette, Classico Oil Colors are made with modern, non-toxic, non-polluting pigments that improve lightfastness. The entire line is ground in pure linseed oil, with the exception of Titanium White, Zinc White, and Super Rapid White, which are ground in safflower oil. All colors may be intermixed in any ratio or proportion, without limits.

Thanks to Maimeri’s vast experience, Classico Oil Colors have become the daily workhorse of a whole generation of artists.

Type
organic synthetic, quinacridone

Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.

Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.

Properties
Pyrrole Red is opaque and has strong covering power. According to manufacturer Ciba, which uses the trade name Irgazin Red, it is a “clean, highly saturated mid shade red with high temperature resistance, excellent color strength, outstanding chemical, solvent and bleed resistance, and good weatherfastness.”
Permanence
Pyrrole Red is considered to have excellent lightfastness among organic pigments in its class. Tests in industrial applications have given it scores of 7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale.
Toxicity
According to the Australian government's Ministry on Health and Aging, "The notified chemical exhibited low oral and dermal toxicity in rats, did not exhibit toxic effects when administered orally to rats for 28 days, was not a skin irritant in rabbi
History
Pyrrole Red, used as an automotive paint and as a colorant in plastics, was developed as one of a range of pigments to replace lead based pigments. In art materials, it is often used as a synthetic and lightfast replacement for carmine, a laked pigment that was originally produced from the body of the cochineal insect. It is also used to replace the older naphthol reds, organic red pigments that are sometimes only marginally lightfast and weatherfast.
