Alizarin Crimson

Alizarin Crimson

 

Alizarin Crimson is a synthetically produced, organic color pigment with a cool red tone.

 

The pigment is named after the natural organic dye Alizarin, which is found in the roots of the plant "madder" (Krap - rubia tinctorum) which has been used as a dye long ago. The roots of the plant were dried and crushed afterwards, so that a strong red dye was obtained from it. Today, the pigment is most often artificially produced.
