It captures the classic vermilion character: bright, hot, and unapologetically vibrant, without the lightfastness concerns of the original mercury-based pigment. Warmer and more orange than Scarlet Lake, Vermillion sits at the very edge of the red-orange boundary - it is the colour of traditional lacquerware, Chinese New Year lanterns, and the warmest sun-kissed terracotta. In thin washes it delivers a glowing, almost luminous warmth; at full strength it is bold and striking. A versatile, high-energy warm red-orange. Invaluable for painting warm sunlit subjects, autumn palettes, vivid still life, and any subject where a classic hot red is called for. Product features Highly pigmented & vibrant Each 15 ml tube delivers exceptional colour intensity - vivid at full strength and at the same time luminous and clear when diluted. Endless colour possibilities Intermixes fluidly across the entire range of colours for limitless sun-warmed and earthy combinations, bringing a radiant vitality and warmth to every mix. Transparent character A strikingly luminous transparent red in watercolour - build blazing, coral-toned glazes that allow light to pour through and shimmer back, layering vivid, fiery washes over one another with breathtaking clarity, each layer intensifying the warmth and glow without ever muddying or losing its brilliant, flame-like brilliance. Non-toxic formula Made with non-toxic additives and safe for all ages and working environments. Artist grade quality Professional-grade transparency and vibrancy, perfect for professional artists and beginners exploring the medium. Creamy, soft consistency Higher glycerine binder than pans and therefore have buttery soft texture that disperses effortlessly in water. Supreme lightfastness Highly lightfast pigments rated Excellent which means your artwork stays brilliant for decades. Perfect for large areas A tiny squeeze goes a long way. Ideal for smooth, even washes across large sections of a painting. Why choose tubes? Watercolour tubes contain more glycerine binder than pans, giving the paint a soft, creamy texture that mixes instantly with water. A small amount from the tube goes a very long way - making tubes ideal for large washes and expressive, generous brushwork. Leave it to dry - reactivate anytime Squeeze out what you need and leave the rest on your palette. When the paint dries, simply mist with a little water and it reactivates fully - as workable as when it was first squeezed. No cleaning needed between sessions, and nothing is ever wasted. Refill your pans Use tubes to top up empty half- or full-pans in your travel or studio palette. Squeeze into the pan, let the paint cure for a few days, and you have freshly loaded pans ready for use - far more economical than buying replacement pans. Beautiful pastels with White Blending Vermillion with White unlocks a series of warm, terracotta-tinted pastels - from vibrant melon to the softest sandy blush - that bring a sun-warmed glow to portrait complexions, warm floral studies, and the honey-lit tones of Mediterranean still life.
