Pigment information
General reference notes about pigments can describe other media (such as oil). They do not verify this product’s exact formulation or behavior.
Dioxazine Violet
- Pigment code
- PV23
- Type
- organic
- Chemical name
- carbazole dioxazine
- Chemical formula
- C34H22Cl2N4O2
- Properties
- Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
- Permanence
- Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
- History
- Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
- Description
- Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.
Quinacridone Violet
- Pigment code
- PV19
- Type
- organic synthetic, quinacridone
- Chemical formula
- C20H12N2O2
- Properties
- Quinacridone Red is a high performance, transparent pigment with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192). 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.
- Permanence
- Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
- Description
- Quinacridone Red (PR192), Quinacridone Red (PR19), Gamma Quinacridone (PV19)
