- Light purple slate powder. From Mels, Switzerland. Contains iron / manganese. Côte d´Azur Violet is a light violet slate powder from Mels, Switzerland. Its color is a result of the iron and manganese it contains. This violet is found in Italian painting and also north of the Alps: In the 18th century, the two architects and decorators Cosmas Damian and Egid Quirin Asam used it in churches to paint the cloaks of angels and saints. Although the original source of this pigment has not been determined yet, indistinguishable qualities of this pigment occur in different regions. The first discovery from Kremer Pigmente of slate violet was at the Côte d´Azur in Southern France (hence the pigment’s name), the current supply, however, is from an area between Chur and Zurich, Switzerland. Together with the slate green and grey from the same origin, the color trio produces a special mineral harmony. Their uniqueness results from a combination of glimmer and titanium, which produces pigments of higher covering power than other earth pigments.

Properties
Red iron oxide varies in hue and transparency, depending on hydration and slight impurities. Indian Red is a slightly duller, deep brick hue with a bluish undertone. It is very dense and opaque, with excellent tinting strength and covering power. It is dependable when mixing with all other permanent pigments and yields good flesh tints when mixed with Zinc White. It is the synthetic version of PR102, which is a pigment made from earth reds, or natural red iron oxides, and the names applied to PR101 and PR102 often overlap. The synthetic red iron oxides have mostly replaced natural red iron oxides and are brighter, stronger, finer, and more permanent. Indian Red is the highest grade bluish shade. Light Red, English Red, and Venetian Red are yellowish shades. Mars Violet is a dull and subdued bluish or purplish oxide.

History
Natural red iron oxide comes from the mineral ore hematite, called bloodstone by the ancient Greeks from the word hema, meaning blood. It is one of the oldest pigments, has been used by every major civilization, and was an important mineral for medieval alchemists. It was not widely used in artists' materials until the 17th century and was not produced in large quantities until the 18th century.
