Pigment Name
PR179-Perylene Maroon
Pigment Type
organic, anthraquinone
Chemical Formula
C26H14N2O4
Properties

Permanence
Perylene Maroon has excellent permanence and lightfastness, and it can be an appropriate replacement for Anthraquinone Red in watercolor form.
Toxicity
Perylene Maroon has no significant acute toxicity. Its long term hazards are currently unknown.
History
Perylenes have been used as vat dyes since 1912, but they were not manufactured and sold as pigments until 1957.
Pigment Name
PV19-Quinacridone Violet
Pigment Type
organic synthetic, quinacridone
Chemical Formula
C20H12N2O2
Properties
Quinacridone Red is a high performance, transparent pigment with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192). 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.
Permanence
Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
Toxicity
Quinacridone Violet has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
History
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.
