Note on select colors - Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Indian Yellow, Permanent Tuscan Earth, Olive Green, and Sap Green were originally formulated with mineral spirits, which may result in a slightly stronger scent. This does not affect the quality, performance, or permanence of the paint.
The formula has since been updated to remove mineral spirits. Due to mixed stock, you may receive either version. If you prefer a consistently low-odor option, consider Utrecht Artists' Oil Paint .

Pigment Information
This color contains the following pigments:
PR202-Quinacridone Magenta
PR209-Quinacridone Red
PR179-Perylene Maroon
Pigment Name
PR202-Quinacridone Magenta
Pigment Type
organic, dichloroquinacridone
Properties
PR202 has a bluish red color, but is more yellow than Quinacridone Red (PR122), which is the modern favorite for Magenta in CMYK (four color) process printing.
Permanence
Although it is not the most famous magenta in the quinacridone family of pigments, PR202 belongs to a related class chemically, and is thus relatively stable and permanent for a bluish red pigment. It is one of the pigments often used in inks and toners for process printing.
History
PR202 has been widely used as an automotive paint. Other applications include packaging, printing inks, and textiles.
Pigment Name
PR209-Quinacridone Red
Pigment Type
organic, quinacridone
Properties
Quinacridone Red is a bright, clean red pigment with average drying time. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Permanence
Quinacridone Red has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
History
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.
Pigment Name
PR179-Perylene Maroon
Pigment Type
organic, anthraquinone
Chemical Formula
C26H14N2O4
Properties
Perylene Maroon is a transparent, dull to moderately dull, deep red pigment. Its transparency makes it useful as a glazing color. Its mixing complement is Phthalo Green, and together they produce a pure black that is darker than most carbon-based pigments.
Permanence
Perylene Maroon has excellent permanence and lightfastness, and it can be an appropriate replacement for Anthraquinone Red in watercolor form.
History
Perylenes have been used as vat dyes since 1912, but they were not manufactured and sold as pigments until 1957.
