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 .

Properties
Manganese Violet is a semi-transparent, bluish-violet pigment with a discrete opacity and low tinting strength. It is the reddest of the violets, and it covers and dries well in oil and tempera. It also performs well in pastel, encaustic, and watercolor. Manganese Violet is not well suited for fresco or acrylic painting. There can be significant differences in color across brands. It shares similar properties with bluish shades of Cobalt Violet.
Permanence
Manganese Violet has excellent permanence and lightfastness, and it is one of the most lightfast, balanced violets in watercolor form.
History
This pigment was developed in 1868 by E. Leykauf to replace the more expensive Cobalt Violet. It was not offered as an artists’ pigment until 1890.
