ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Crimson Lake is a deep, luxurious crimson formulated with Pigment Red 206 (PR206) and Pigment Red 254 (PR254). Rich and intensely saturated, it combines the warmth of a classic crimson with exceptional transparency, making it perfect for expressive washes, glazing, and dramatic focal points.
Its velvety character shines in floral paintings, berries, rich fabrics, sunsets, autumn foliage, and atmospheric landscapes. When diluted, it reveals beautiful rosy undertones, while stronger applications produce bold, captivating reds with remarkable depth. As a mixing colour, Crimson Lake creates vibrant violets with blues and glowing warm tones with yellows and oranges.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• High-Quality Pigment: Made with premium-quality pigments for strong, consistent colour, smooth application, and reliable coverage in every wash.
• The "Full Pan" Guarantee: We fill these 2.5ml pans in multiple layers. Because watercolour shrinks as it dries, we repeat the process so you get a full, generously filled pan rather than a half-empty one.
• Ready to Paint: You won't be scrubbing at the pan to lift colour. Just hit it with a damp brush and it reactivates instantly, ready for smooth, dependable use every session.
• Deep transparent colour: Its transparent character makes Crimson Lake ideal for glazing, layering, and building rich tonal depth while maintaining luminous, light-filled washes.
• Great for Mixing: Blends beautifully with every colour in the Thoovi range to produce glowing violets, warm neutrals, dramatic shadows, and expressive colour harmonies.
• Travel-Friendly: It's a standard half-pan size, so it drops right into almost any portable palette - ideal for travel, plein air work, or urban sketching.
• Safe & Lasting: Non-toxic and rated very good for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
