ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Dioxazine Violet is an intensely deep, cool violet formulated with Pigment Violet 23 (PV23), one of the most powerful and vibrant violet pigments available to artists. Renowned for its extraordinary colour strength and crystal-clear transparency, it transforms from nearly black in concentrated passages to brilliant violet in diluted washes.
Ideal for dramatic florals, twilight skies, mountain shadows, galaxies, reflective water, and expressive abstract work, Dioxazine Violet also excels in colour mixing. A tiny amount is enough to create rich purples, moody neutrals, and atmospheric shadow tones, making it one of the most versatile dark mixing colours in a watercolour palette.
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.
• Powerful transparent colour: Its transparent nature allows artists to build dramatic depth through glazing while maintaining the brilliance and luminosity characteristic of watercolour.
• Great for Mixing: Mixes beautifully throughout the Thoovi range to produce vibrant purples, rich shadow tones, deep neutrals, and atmospheric colour harmonies with exceptional efficiency.
• 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.
