Ultramarine Violet CUV

Ultramarine Violet is a distinctive mineral pigment developed in the nineteenth century as part of the synthetic ultramarine family. Derived from the same chemistry that produced synthetic Ultramarine Blue, it offers delicate violet tones with a subtle warmth and exceptional permanence. Its unique hue has made it a valued pigment for decorative painting and artists' colours, where soft purples and muted lilacs are required.

Renowned for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with traditional paint systems, Ultramarine Violet has been widely used in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other breathable wall paints. Its understated character lends itself particularly well to historic interiors and period colour schemes, where it can be used to create gentle lavender shades or blended with earth pigments to produce more restrained and complex colours.

Rose of Jericho supplies high-quality Ultramarine Violet pigment for use in traditional decorative finishes and conservation projects. Combining outstanding durability with a refined and distinctive hue, it is an excellent choice for the restoration and decoration of historic buildings and the creation of timeless, elegant colour palettes.
