A beautiful granulating pigment from South Africa, is another standout in our line of PrimaTek® colours. First found in 1944 and named for its Japanese discoverer, the rare opaque mineral ranges from grayish lavendar to pink to deep purple. As a watercolour pigment, it combines subtle fuchsia pink and warm gray in a single strongly textural colour. In a wash, the gray settles with a slight graphite-like sheen, while the pink rises to resemble the colour in an overcast dawn sky. It's a great complement to golds, oranges and greens, including Quinacridone Gold and Sap Green.
