ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Quinacridone Purple Blue is a luminous cool violet made with Pigment Violet 55 (PV55). Elegant and transparent, it leans toward blue, offering a refined, jewel-like hue that is perfect for artists who enjoy creating atmospheric paintings and sophisticated colour harmonies.
Its cool character makes it ideal for lavender fields, irises, lilacs, hydrangeas, distant mountain ranges, twilight skies, and reflective water. Diluted washes reveal delicate lavender tones, while concentrated applications produce deep, glowing violets that retain exceptional clarity. It also excels in glazing, allowing artists to build rich colour without sacrificing transparency.
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.
• Cool transparent violet: Its transparent blue-violet character is ideal for glazing, layering, and creating luminous atmospheric effects, elegant floral paintings, and natural cool shadows.
• Great for Mixing: Blends effortlessly with every colour in the Thoovi range to create delicate lavenders, rich violets, cool greys, and beautifully balanced secondary colours.
• 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.
