Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Colour 200ML – Permanent Alizarin Crimson 468
The Permanent Alizarin Crimson 468 from Winsor & Newton’s Winton Oil Colour range is a deep, cool carmine red with a transparent character and an exceptionally rich tone. It is a modern, durable alternative to traditional Alizarin Crimson, which was notorious for poor lightfastness.
Formulated with PR177 (Anthraquinone Red), this hue provides excellent lightfastness (ASTM I), ensuring that your paintings retain their depth and intensity over time.
With a smooth and flowing consistency, it is perfect for glazing, portraiture, shadow work, and building complex deep mixtures. The drying time is 2–12 days, depending on thickness and environment.
The generous 200ML tube offers excellent value for artists working with transparent layers or rich red and purple tones. Suitable for both students and professionals, it combines affordability with lasting quality.
