Properties

Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark, valued when used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in a red shade, blue shade, and so forth.

Permanence

Dioxazine Violet has a good lightfastness. There may be some concern about fading or shifting colour in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
