Quinacridone pigments
Quinacridone pigments are a family of synthetic pigments bearing the same chemical formula. The range of possible colours ranges from oranges and reds, to magentas and purples.
Quinacridone pigments are brilliantly coloured and transparent, and have good permanence (lightfastness) and tinting power.
