Cinnabar Red

Thought to be derived from Latin, meaning 'red cinnamon', this colour does not feature the toxic component of mercury. It is a rich ruby red with a slightly pink undertone.; Sennelier gathers only the finest organic and inorganic pigments from around the world. These pure pigments are ground very slowly with extreme care to an extra-fine consistency. They are then combined at maximum concentration with an archival safflower oil to yield the highest possible tinting strength and a rich satin finish. This paint has a unique buttery texture.
