Quinacridone Carmine is a vibrant and translucent hue that captivates with its luminosity and purity. This pigment, part of the quinacridone family, is known for its intense color, very similar to Isaro pink, evoking the delicate shades of flower petals. Its history dates back to the 1950s, when it was developed to replace less stable organic pigments, offering a more reliable and durable alternative. In watercolor, quinacridone carmine is prized for its excellent transparency and its ability to create subtle gradients. It is ideal for portraits, landscapes, and botanical illustrations.
When mixed with light Isaro yellow or Indian yellow, quinacridone carmine can produce beautiful peach or coral tones. When combined with cooler shades like ultramarine blue or phthalo blue, it creates vibrant violets.
