Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Crimson

Crimson (Series 1) by Matisse Studio is a rich, semi-transparent red crafted from Naphthol Carbamide (PR170), a trusted pigment known for its vibrant hue and versatile mixing potential. This ASTM II lightfast acrylic offers superior clarity and intensity, ideal for fine art, illustration, and graphic design.

Originally developed in the late 19th century, Naphthol pigments rose to prominence as high-performance reds used in printing and automotive coatings. PR170 remains a top-tier choice for artists seeking bold colour with strong tinting strength and moderate transparency.

Matisse Crimson excels in colour blending. Combine with Ultramarine Blue or Cobalt Blue for dynamic violets, or soften with Cerulean Blue for subtle mauves. Add Titanium White to reveal cool pinks, or mix with Burnt Umber for deep burgundy tones. Whether in abstract compositions or expressive portraits, Crimson adapts beautifully, earning its place as a staple red on any artist’s palette.

Perfect For:

• Rich reds and burgundies
• Mixing violets and pinks
• Portraiture, florals, and abstracts
• Graphic or illustrative applications
