Koh-i-noor Acrylic Paint 40 ml, Magenta

Koh-i-noor Acrylic Paint in Magenta is a vibrant, cool-toned red with a distinct bluish-purple undertone, functioning as a modern primary for color mixing. This 40 ml tube contains a professional-grade, water-based acrylic formula prized for its intense, clean pigmentation and excellent lightfastness. As a crucial color on the contemporary artist's palette, it dries to a permanent, flexible, and waterproof finish and is indispensable for mixing a vast range of pure violets, bright pinks, and rich purples that cannot be achieved with traditional warm reds. It is a fundamental color for achieving brilliant, non-muddy secondary mixes.

Product Features & Technical Specifications

• Cool, Bluish-Red Primary Pigment: A magenta hue, which acts as a primary red in modern color theory (CMY), essential for mixing clean secondary colors, especially purples and violets.
• Professional Water-Based Acrylic: An artist-quality dispersion paint with smooth application, easy water dilution, quick drying, and simple cleanup with soap and water.
• High Tinting Strength & Transparency: Possesses strong staining power and good transparency, making it powerful for mixing and ideal for creating rich glazes.
• Permanent & Lightfast Finish: Dries to a durable, flexible, waterproof film with excellent resistance to fading, ensuring mixed colors retain their vibrancy.
• Universal Surface Compatibility: Suitable for all non-greasy, non-water-absorbent surfaces, including primed canvas, wood, paper, and craft materials.
• Superior Mixing Properties: The key mixer for creating clear, vibrant purples and violets with blues, and for adjusting the temperature of other reds and pinks.
• Convenient 40 ml Metal Tube: Packaged in a sealed, airtight metal tube that protects the paint's quality and allows for precise, controlled dispensing.

Primary Uses & Artistic Benefits

• Essential for Clean Purple & Violet Mixes: The primary red for mixing with blues (especially Phthalo or Ultramarine) to create the cleanest, most vibrant purples and violets without the muddiness caused by warm reds.
• Creating Bright Pinks & Fuchsias: Mixed with white, it produces a range of bright pinks, hot pinks, and fuchsia tones perfect for flowers, illustrations, and pop art.
• Color Temperature Control: Can be added to warm reds (like Cadmium Red) to cool them down or to create more complex, tertiary red-violets.
• Floral & Botanical Painting: Indispensable for painting fuchsias, certain orchids, bougainvillea, and other magenta-toned flowers with accuracy and brilliance.
• Graphic Art & Illustration: A staple for bold, modern illustration, design work, and any project requiring intense, cool reds and pinks.

Recommended Surfaces & Preparation

• Fine Art Supports: Primed canvas, wood panels, and heavy-weight paper.
• Preparation: For maximum vibrancy, apply over a white primer (gesso). A white ground is crucial for this transparent, staining color to shine at its brightest.

How to Use for Best Results

1. Surface Prep: Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and properly primed with white gesso.
2. Dispensing & Caution: Shake tube gently. Squeeze a small amount onto a non-porous palette. Warning: This is a potent stainer for brushes and skin.
3. Application:
   • For glazes and transparent effects: Dilute with water or glazing medium.
   • For more opaque coverage: Use with minimal water or mix with a small amount of an opaque color like white or yellow.
4. Key Mixing Formulas:
   • Vibrant Dioxazine-like Purple: Magenta + Phthalo Blue (add magenta to blue gradually).
   • Clean Violet: Magenta + Ultramarine Blue.
   • Hot Pink: Magenta + Titanium White.
   • Rich Crimson: Magenta + a small amount of a warm red (e.g., Cadmium Red Medium).
5. Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately and thoroughly with soap and water. Staining on brushes and palettes can be permanent.

Professional Tips & Color Theory

• Modern Primary: In the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) printing/model, Magenta is a primary color, not a secondary mix of red and blue. This is why it mixes so cleanly with blues.
• Vs. Alizarin Crimson: Both are cool reds, but Magenta is brighter and less brown/murky. Alizarin is more transparent and better for deep glazes, while Magenta is better for bright, clean mixes.
• Mixing Clean Secondaries: For the brightest oranges, use a warm yellow with a warm red. For the brightest greens, use a warm yellow with a cool blue. For the brightest purples, use Magenta (cool red) with a cool blue.
• Handle with Care: Due to its high staining power, use dedicated brushes or be prepared for some permanent tinting of brush bristles.
• Storage: Always cap the tube tightly to prevent skin from forming.
