What makes this colour particularly unique is that when mixed with blue, Pyrrol Orange does not produce greenish-brown or grey tints. When mixed with blue, Pyrrol Orange produces pure shades of muted violet, making it a wonderful colour to use in landscape painting, especially at sunset. When mixed with other colours, Pyrrol Orange produces pure complementary shades. For example, in mixtures with deep cool reds it provides additional ringing red colour, in mixtures with green it gives restrained complex browns, and in mixtures with yellow it gives rich and luminous orange shades.
Pyrrol Orange works wonderfully in flower painting, providing richness and delicacy to the petals. It is also good in painting still lifes with fruit, and works great in portraiture in blends for skin tones.
