Oil Bars: Single-Pigment Colors – Synthetic Pigments
 
 
Pyrrole Red Oil Bar
 
 
Joules & Joules Pyrrole Red Oil Bar is a derivation of our Pyrrole Red oil paint. In this process, safe quantities of beeswax and carnauba wax are added to the recipe, keeping the outer membrane solid, and the oil bar creamy inside. Joules & Joules Pyrrole Red is a bright, vivid, semi-opaque, highly lightfast red, with high tinting strength and moderate covering power. Pyrrole Red shares a similar mass tone with Cadmium Red Light but exhibits a slightly blue undertone in addition to more saturated, vibrant, and cleaner hues in its mixtures with other colors.
