Description
A close cousin of the classic Ultramarine Blue, and very similar in nature.
A semi-opaque and delicate violet.
Langridge's description;
"Ultramarine Blue’s violet counterpart, this colour is deep, mysterious and elusive. Ultramarine Violet is very delicate in tints. When mixed with white, some of the most ethereal lavender hues can be achieved. Semi-opaque, highly permanent but less strident than Dioxazine with a natural tendency for use as a modulating colour."
