About Dioxazine Purple
Dioxazine Purple is a single-pigment colour valued for its profound bluish-purple hue and exceptional depth. It is one of the most intense purples available to artists.
Straight from the bottle it is dark and saturated, almost black-violet; thinned or mixed with white it opens up into rich violets and lavenders. Its transparency makes it ideal for glazing and deep shadows.
