Produced in Germany since 1881, the company is now owned by the fourth generation of the original family.

Smooth flowing and intermixable, colors that have dried on the palette can be reactivated with a wet brush.

- 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.
