“A beautiful Transparent, limpid pink. Like all ultramarines, this leans toward blue-but very slightly-not enough to be violet. Very close in feel to original Rose Madder, but more delicate.” In regard to safflower oil formulations specifically, “These Transparent violets are particularly sensitive to any color shifts when used alone or in glazes. With age, or after prolonged storage in the dark, the linseed version of Ultramarine Violet can take on a grayish pallor, while the similar Ultramarine Pink and the prismatically pure Cobalt Violet Light develop a muted orangish patina. The new safflower versions should preserve the beauty of these subtle tones.“ -Williamsburg
