Cadmium Red
 
Joules & Joules Cadmium Red Matte Acrylic Paint is a deep, intense red that is highly lightfast, opaque, with moderate tinting strength and high covering power. It presents a strong, dense mass tone with smooth, slightly purplish undertones. This is the dark version of a red that became one of the most widely used colors of the 20th century. The color is made from the synthetic inorganic pigment PR 108, used in the preparation of pigment dispersions produced by Joules & Joules.
