About this colour
Alizarin Crimson is a staple of classical 19th and 20th century painting. Traditionally made with unstable dye products, Tri-Art has expertly formulated a hue that employs a mix of more lightfast modern pigments. Naphthol Red and Transparent Red Oxide forms the slightly dusky brick red mass tone of Alizarin Crimson, while Dioxane Violet imparts Alizarin's signature near purple, red undertone. Alizarin Crimson remains a popular choice mixing and glazing, particularly in limited palettes.
