Description
A rosy violet pigment that is a color variation produced in the manufacture of synthetic ultramarine blue. Ultramarine violets and reds were developed in Germany about 1875. The pigments are produced by treating ultramarine blue with sal ammoniac or dry hydrochloric acid gas at high temperatures. The sodium reacts to form sodium chloride, which is then washed away. Ultramarine red is a stable pigment but it has poor tinting strength and is rarely used in artists' paints (Plesters, 1993).
