Manufacturer Description

From Daniel Smith:
A deep, luscious, grape-juicy reddish-violet. The masstone is dark and intense, shifting in tints toward a rich red violet with a brownish-purple cast. Because of its relative neutrality, it’s a natural-looking choice for portrait, landscape or botanical work-imagine how good it looks with complementary greens. It also makes strong, interesting shadows.
