Add warmth and brilliance to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint – Vermilion Light (Colour No. 342, Series 2). This light, transparent red has a yellowish undertone that gives it a fresh, glowing warmth more reddish than Transparent Orange, yet lighter and more luminous than traditional vermilion. Ideal for floral studies, portraits, and expressive washes, it brings life and clarity to every brushstroke.

Formulated with Pigment Red 188 (PR188), Vermilion Light offers excellent transparency, non-staining properties, and smooth flow, making it versatile for delicate glazing and layering. Its refined luminosity and soft tonal range allow for effortless colour transitions, while maintaining a bright, clean finish in both washes and mixes.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and rigorously tested to ensure stability, resolubility, and exceptional consistency. Once dried on the palette, the colour rewets easily, preserving its vibrancy and fluid character.

With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues crafted for clean, reliable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell remains the artist’s standard for excellence.
