Description
Iron oxides produce a wide variety of red shades ranging from light, bright red to a deep purplish red. They can be natural, earth pigments (Hematite, Indian red, Venetian red) or synthetically prepared pigments (Light red). All iron oxide reds are stable, permanent pigments with good tinting strength and are the primary colorant in ochers and siennas.
