Description
This watercolour is made of synthetic hydrated iron oxide and synthetic iron oxide-carbon-calcium phosphate. The pigment is classified as a synthetic hydrated iron oxide and has a color index of PY42-PR101-PBL9. The pigment is lightfast and ASTM classifies it as a category 1 and 2 pigment. The opacity of the pigment is opaque.
One of the unique characteristics of these watercolours is the unparalleled colour strength (maximum pigmentation). And while this high colour strength requires a slightly different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired colour effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear.
