We were the first colorhouse to develop an Alizarin Permanent. Robert Gamblin formulated our Artist Grade Alizarin Permanent over 20 years ago. His goal was to provide artists with a more stable color, true to the historic working properties of Alizarin Crimson. Our 1980 Alizarin Crimson Permanent is based on the same pigments and formula as our Artist Grade.

Alizarin Crimson Permanent matches Alizarin Crimson in transparency very well. In masstone, it is somewhat lighter and cooler in value than Alizarin Crimson. Because it is formulated with modern pigments, it is more intense in tints and retains its chroma in mixtures more strongly than Alizarin Crimson
