Some information from the Matisse website:

This pigment belongs to the quinacridone family, known for its remarkable range of shades achieved through slight molecular adjustments and manufacturing variations.

Noteworthy for its permanence, Australian Red Violet holds an ASTM I rating, indicating exceptional lightfastness even in the palest tints. Its semi-transparent nature gives it more body compared to other quinacridone pigments, adding versatility to its application.

Australian Red Violet proves to be a versatile choice for various artistic techniques, serving as a general violet pigment. When combined with Ultramarine Blue, it produces deep violets and purples that not only rival the light resistance of Dioxazine Purple but also offer a rich variety characteristic of mixed violet hues. This pigment stands as a testament to the ingenuity of color development, capturing the unique beauty of arid landscapes for artists to express and explore.
