Note on select colors - Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Indian Yellow, Permanent Tuscan Earth, Olive Green, and Sap Green were originally formulated with mineral spirits, which may result in a slightly stronger scent. This does not affect the quality, performance, or permanence of the paint.
The formula has since been updated to remove mineral spirits. Due to mixed stock, you may receive either version. If you prefer a consistently low-odor option, consider Utrecht Artists' Oil Paint .

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Red is a bright, clean red pigment with average drying time. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Red has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.
