What color is Rose madder?
Rose madder is a color that is derived from the roots of the common madder plant, Rubia tinctorum.
It is a natural organic lake pigment that has been used as a dye for fabrics and as a paint for artworks since ancient times.
Rose madder has a distinctive rose hue that varies from a pale pink to a deep crimson, depending on the concentration and the preparation of the pigment.
It is a transparent and granulating pigment, which means that it creates a textured and layered effect when applied in watercolor.
Rose madder is composed of two organic red dyes: alizarin and purpurin.
Alizarin is the more stable and dominant dye, while purpurin is more fugitive and gives a warmer tone to the color.
Purpurin also fluoresces under ultraviolet light, unlike synthetic alizarin.
Rose madder is a unique and historical pigment that has been used by many famous artists, such as Jan Vermeer, JMW Turner, John Constable, William Holman Hunt and James McNeill Whistler.
It has a soft depth and richness that cannot be duplicated by any other rose color.
