In mass tone, this is a rich, deep red-violet, (cooler than Quinacridone Pink) and when mixed with white, it’s a vivid violet pink. Quinacridone Magenta is vibrant and mixes very cleanly. Like all Quinacridones, it’s an extremely lightfast, organic pigment. In terms of complementary couples, Quinacridone Magenta works especially well with yellow greens. Highly durable, all the DANIEL SMITH Quinacridone colors excel in vivid clarity and intensity.
