Permanent Carmine

Permanent Carmine (one of the Essential Range of the 10 most useful paints)

Pigment: PV19 (this is also the same pigment in other paints like Permanent Rose so it's best to go with Permanent Alizarin Crimson if substituting as that's the best colour match)

This is an intense, dark and brilliant red with a hint of blue. It's good for using with Scarlet Lake to create a brilliant mid-red.

Recommended Substitutes

• Anna used to use Permanent Alizarin Crimson more than Permanent Carmine but more recently favours this one. They are essentially interchangeable but this is a little brighter.
• The Daniel Smith alternative is Carmine.
