A descendent of the aniline dyes developed in the 1850's which fundamentally changed the colour 'industry', producing powerful and stable pigments on demand, which is a fascinating story however for now back to Magenta...
This uses Quinacridone, a very lightfast pigment, with strong bluish overtones which shine through if it is used as a glaze. When made into tints with white it presents a wonderful range of decadent, strong cool pinks which evoke rich satins.
When added 50/50 to Ultramarine Blue the results are a spectacular range of violets, which have an almost stain-glass quality. In mixes with yellow lakes the results are ranges of diaphanous, ambivalent pinks.
