Perylene Violet is a smoky mauve violet with an unusual character. When combined with rich yellows, such as Indian Yellow, the combined colours produce amazing browns and deep, gingery shades. This is a subtle colour that may not leap off the palette and dazzle in the way quinacridone does, but it is a marvellous addition! MH Perylene Violet has an atmospheric quality.
