C.P. Cadmium Red Medium / 2oz / Heavy Body Acrylics / Golden Paints

Cadmium Red Medium became the most widely used red shortly after it was synthesized in 1907 because it offered greater permanence and intensity than the mostly plant-based reds used up to that time. (Series 9) The first acrylic colors offered by GOLDEN, Heavy Body paints are known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency. The Heavy Body palette includes the largest assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. These colors offer excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added. Each Heavy Body color formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colors that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. Colors that are more reactive and do not allow as much pigment loading tend to have a glossier, more transparent, finish. Because Heavy Body colors contain no matting agents, the gloss of each color will be different. Characteristics: Thick paints that retain texture of brushstrokes and tool marks No fillers, extenders or dyes Rich, vibrant colors for clean color mixing Technical Detail Opacity / Transparency Opaque Lightfastness rating Munsell Notation Listing Hue:7 Value:4.2 Chroma:16 Gloss Average 78.88 Viscosity Range 23000- 27000 CPS CIE L*a*b* Values L*42.85 a*50.1 b*27.7 Tint Strength 73.92 Pigment Detail PR108 CI number:77202 Classification:Synthetic Inorganic Chemical Description:Cadmium Sulfoselenide
