Rublev Colours Pigment Cobalt Violet Ultra Dark - 100 g

This pigment is valued for its exceptional lightfastness, chemical stability, and subtle chroma, and is traditionally used where restraint, permanence, and tonal delicacy are required rather than strong tinting power.

Cobalt violet is considered highly permanent and chemically stable in all artists’ media. It is completely lightfast and resistant to alkalis and weak acids. In oil paint, lighter shades may appear slightly muted over time due to natural yellowing of drying oils rather than pigment degradation. The pigment is compatible with all common pigments and binders.

Warning: while not acutely toxic in normal artists’ use, it contains cobalt compounds and should be handled with appropriate care. Avoid inhaling pigment dust and follow standard studio hygiene practices.
