ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Purple is a beautifully balanced blend of Pigment Blue 29 (PB29), Pigment Red 122 (PR122), and Pigment Brown 25 (PBr25), creating a rich violet with subtle earthy undertones. Unlike brighter violets, this colour has a refined, natural character that makes it equally at home in florals, landscapes, portraits, and atmospheric scenes.
Its versatile hue shifts effortlessly from soft lavender washes to deep royal purple, making it ideal for painting lavender fields, irises, hydrangeas, distant hills, dramatic skies, and elegant shadow passages. The addition of earth pigment lends a gentle softness that prevents mixtures from becoming overly intense, resulting in harmonious, painterly compositions.
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.
• Soft, balanced violet: Its semi-transparent nature allows artists to create both delicate glazes and rich passages of colour, making it suitable for expressive layering and subtle tonal transitions.
• Great for Mixing: Mixes beautifully with every colour in the Thoovi range to produce muted neutrals, elegant mauves, atmospheric greys, and a wide variety of natural shadow tones.
• 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.
