Add dramatic depth and cool sophistication to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Ruby Red Deep (Colour No. 346, Series 2). This dark, cold red leans towards a bluish tone, creating a beautifully balanced, deep crimson ideal for floral shadows, portraits, and expressive washes. Its intense richness and controlled opacity make it perfect for building layered tones and achieving striking contrast.

Formulated with Pigment Red 264 (PR264), Ruby Red Deep features semi-opaque coverage, staining properties, and good colour strength, delivering consistent vibrancy and smooth blending across techniques. Its cooler undertone makes it especially useful for mixing purples, cool neutrals, and rich maroons, offering artists a versatile pigment for a range of creative effects.

Once dry on the palette, the paint rewets easily, retaining its full brilliance and buttery consistency.
