00813-3741 — Opera

Holbein's opaque matte gouache is Japan's foremost designers' color medium. These paints deliver a brilliant, rich matte finish using naturally opaque pigments - no opaquing agents added. This creates vibrant, exciting color that won't muddy when mixed.

Opera

This color contains the following pigments:

BR1—Rhodamine 6G
BV1—Fluorescent Blue-Violet 1
BV11—Fluorescent Blue-Violet BV11

BR1—Rhodamine 6G

Pigment Type

organic, fluorone dye

Chemical Name

n/a

Chemical Formula

C₂₈H₃₁N₂O₃Cl

Properties

Rhodamine 6G is a staining reddish-yellow pigment that has fluorescent properties. It is extremely soluble in both water and alcohol. Fluorescent molecules absorb light at one wavelength and emit light at a longer wavelength.

Permanence

Rhodamine 6G, like all fluorescent dyes, is not considered permanent, however it is reported to have high stability for a fluorone dye.

Toxicity

Rhodamine 6G is toxic, however it can be biologically inactive and hence non-toxic in a lake pigment form.

History

Rhodamine dyes are often used for microscopy in the biological sciences. Rhodamine 6G is often used as a laser dye.

Alternate Names

Basic Rhodamine Yellow, Rhodamine 590, Pigment PR81.
