Description from Matisse:

Perinone orange PO43 (C26H12N4O2) is a trans isomer of Perinone. It is produced by condensing a Naphthalene compound with  o -Phenylenediamine.  This synthesised organic pigment, initially discovered by Hoechst AG in 1924 as a vat dye and then available to artists as a pigment in the 1950s, has excellent lightfastness (ASTM I) in mass tone and especially in tints. Produces wonderfully transparent glazes of a pure solid mid-orange, perfect for rendering bright oranges or mixing subtle pinks and clean pale flesh tones. It is an ideal substitute for a light version of cadmium orange. Mixes good neutral greys with ultramarine blue.
