mark. Mineral or Manganese Violet is very different from Winsor or carbazole
violet (=dioxazine purple). Mn Violet is lighter in value and more interesting
in texture by far, but you cannot get very dark with it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

cobalt violet, which is also fairly light in value, nice in texture, somewhat
warmer. I think that, except for delicate florals, you are much better off
with the ultramarine/rose mixture suggested in Handprint – much more
versatile. Mn Violet is not worth the money, unless you want its special
delicacy and textural effects, and I would prefer Co Violet in those cases, if
you are happy with the warmer hue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi, Miriam<br>
<br>
I went to the paints section at Handprint and below is the information I got.
Mineral violet is the Maimeri name, but apparently it is PV 16 so the same pigment
is used as shown by other manufacturers. I have not used any of these
personally, however, so there may be differences.<br>

pigment, available from 4 pigment manufacturers worldwide. The <a
href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/pigmt6.html#bluetable" target="_top"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>ASTM</span></b></a> (1999) rates its lightfastness
in watercolors as "excellent" (I) and my 2004 tests agree. In
watercolors PV16 undergoes a moderate <a
href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/cds.html" target="_top"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>drying shift</span></b></a>, lightening and
losing saturation. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The PV16 pigment is very consistent across paint
manufacturers. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Daniel Smith manganese
violet</span></b> was a principal source for this pigment: slightly bluer and
lighter valued than other brands, and blossoming more when rewetted. The
Winsor & Newton permanent mauve, previously available only in dry
pans, is now (2005) available in a tube formulation; it has a slightly less
saturated, and darker color that lightens into effective tints and lifts
almost completely to produce cutouts or sculptured edge effects. The
MaimeriBlu mineral violet is more staining and very opaque. Hilary Page noted
discoloration in her sample of Old Holland, which may not have been a single
pigment paint; my swatch began life as a dull, scabby purple, not at all
pleasant to look at, and the vehicle (or pigment?) discolored to a browish
cast after about a month of sunlight exposure. Two thumbs down! </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>PV16 is the most lightfast balanced purple pigment
available in watercolors, and its recent addition to the DaVinci and
Winsor & Newton is a welcome development. While it has an assertive
and distinctive pigment personality, this becomes less conspicuous when the
paint is part of a shadow mixture. It is attractive both in full strength and
wash applications, but for the most characteristic color appearance it must
be applied with confident, juicy brushstrokes and left to dry without fussing
or retouching. It is especially good in floral painting, both as a muted
floral color and to add texture and body to browns mixed with deep yellow or
orange paints. The same hue can be mixed from ultramarine blue (<a
href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterb.html#PB29"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>PB29</span></b></a>) with quinacridone rose (<a
href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterc.html#PV19R"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>PV19</span></b></a>) or quinacridone violet (<a
href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterc.html#PV19B"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>PV19</span></b></a>), depending on whether you want
more saturation or darker values. In many respects, PV16 handles like
thioindigo violet (<a href="http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterc.html#PR88"><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>PR88</span></b></a>) and can play a similar role in
landscape or botanical palettes. See also the section on <a
