Pompeii Red - Pompeii Red is a dramatic rusty red-orange, the charismatic color of autumn's falling leaves. Made from earth that has been heated to attain a burnt color, this granulating color adds texture and gives a glow of natural warmth. Soft folds of fabric, or the slopes of distant sunlight hills, benefit from Pompeii Red's earthen color. Mixed with Carmine, a lovely Vermilion with a slight pink undertone is produced.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
