Perylene Violet is a smoky mauve violet with a very unusual caricature. When combined with rich yellows such as Indian Yellow, the colours produce amazing browns and deep gingery shades. This is a subtle colour that may not leap off the palette and dazzle in the way a quinacridone does but is a marvellous addition!
Perylene Violet has an atmospheric quality. Use in mixes to create flesh tones to create a beautiful fleshy base tone. Also, very useful when mixed with white to cool whites especially when painting fabrics. Perylene Violet also helps to keep chroma under control. Finally, enjoy using it by mixing with transparent colours.
