Colour introduction from Matisse:

Dioxazine Purple, originating in the earliest acrylic paint ranges, is a profound and intensely dark violet hue cherished by artists. Also known as carbazole violet, both monikers denote the same pigment. Chemically akin to pyrrole pigments, it is manufactured in substantial quantities, finding its place not only in artists' paints but also in a myriad of applications, notably as a potent component in inks, often masquerading as black Indian ink in news agencies.
