Perylene Maroon (W208)andnbsp;Marron Pandeacute;rylandegrave;ne

Perylene Maroon (organic, anthraquinone) is a transparent, dull to moderately dull, deep red pigment. Its transparency makes it useful as a glazing colour. Its mixing complement is Phthalo Green, and together they produce a pure black that is darker than most carbon-based pigments. Perylene Maroon is not suitable for acrylics.

Historically, Perylenes have been used as vat dyes since 1912, but they were not manufactured and sold as pigments until 1957.
