A deep wine red, Bordeaux is useful in portrait, landscape, and botanical painting. Less intense than Quinacridone Magenta, and more opaque as well, Bordeaux is an excellent mixing colour.

Artist Notes: Combine Ultramarine Blue and Bordeaux to create a colour perfect for capturing spring lilacs or add a touch of Hansa Yellow for brilliant autumnal oranges.
