Artists choose Indian Red for architectural renderings, old brick and other subjects where a flat (matte) granular surface is desired. The opacity and density intrinsic to Indian Red make this grayed earth brown a useful asset. One coat of this low-intensity pigment covers even a highly saturated passage.

Yellow Ochre, Cerulean Blue and Indian Red form an opaque triad, producing grayed earthlike mixtures common to landscapes.

Handling tip: Hit it once and walk away.
