A colour of undeniable historical depth. PR83 (first synthesised in 1868) delivers a cool, smoky ruby with exceptional transparency — unmatched in dark portrait glazes and deep shadow passages. Lightfastness is moderate (ASTM III); it performs best in rich, substantial layers rather than pale tints. For a fully permanent alternative, I recommend mixing Transparent Red Oxide (N.385) with Magenta (N.342).

Une couleur d'une profondeur historique indéniable. PR83 (synthétisé pour la première fois en 1868) offre un rubis frais et fumé d'une transparence exceptionnelle — incomparable pour les glacis sombres en portrait et les passages d'ombre profonde. La solidité à la lumière est modérée (ASTM III) ; elle se comporte mieux en couches riches et généreuses qu'en teintes pâles. Pour une alternative pleinement permanente, je recommande de mélanger l'Oxyde Rouge Transparent (N.385) avec la Magenta (N.342).
