Manufacturer Description

From Daniel Smith:
Mayan Red is both fascinating and distinctive. The range of color it produces is truly remarkable, from a natural strong red, to a clear intense rose, to sublime smooth pinks. Used to adorn the murals and sculptures of the Mayan people, this remarkable red has remained vibrant even when exposed to more than a thousand years of severe heat and humidity. Now using an eco-friendly process, with methods derived directly from the ancient Mayans, this unique, metal-free pigment is available to you. Its versatility, durability and exquisite hue will make it a color you’ll reach for again and again.
