Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Vermilion

Bold, luminous, and endlessly versatile, Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint - Vermilion, Series 1, is a powerful reddish-orange pigment made from non-toxic Benzimidazolone (PO36). With ASTM I lightfastness and full opacity, it delivers long-lasting color intensity ideal for fine art, murals, and design work.

Historically, vermilion was derived from mercury-based cinnabar a toxic pigment once prized by old masters but notorious for its tendency to darken over time. Today’s Vermilion (Azo) offers a safe, affordable, and more reliable alternative with outstanding permanence and brilliance.

Widely used in the automotive industry for its vibrant fire engine red tones, Vermilion (Azo) is also a favorite among artists seeking a deep, warm orange-red that blends effortlessly and holds up in light-exposed or outdoor settings.

Perfect for:

• Outdoor murals and public artworks, thanks to its non-toxic, weather-resistant formula
• Mixing with quinacridone reds for intense scarlet hues
• Pairing with blues to produce soft grays or shadow tones
• Enhancing ochres and rock highlights in landscapes

Whether you’re working on expressive figurative art, dramatic skies, or glowing sunlit scenes, Matisse Vermilion brings together safety, affordability, and vivid, professional-grade performance without compromise.
