About PR170
History
A naphthol red widely used in industrial and student paints.
In mixes
A bright mid-red. Lightfastness varies with the grade the maker uses, so check the tube's rating.
Drying speed is typical for linseed oil; tubes ground in safflower or poppy oil, or with driers added, will differ. These are general notes on the pigment, not on any one brand.
