Opera Rose
Opera Rose (PR122) A highly saturated, fluorescent pink, Opera Rose captivates with its vivid intensity and bold vibrancy. Derived from the family of quinacridone magentas, it offers a striking, almost shocking, hue that stands apart. Unlike traditional quinacridones, Opera Rose has its own unique flow and handling. While its lightfastness is moderate, its radiant, eye-catching colour makes it a popular choice for fiery skies, impressionistic florals, abstracts, or any artwork where a high-impact pink is desired.
Opera Rose is a single-pigment Michael Harding oil colour made with PR122 (Organic).
It is transparent, low lightfastness, average drying time, low tinting strength.
It is ground in linseed oil with high oil content.
