Citadel Shade: Carroburg Crimson 18ml

Carroburg Crimson is the deep, purple-tinged red that makes cloth and gems look expensive. It settles into the folds and recesses to leave a rich, almost regal shadow — brilliant for robes, velvets, wax seals and anything that should read as luxurious on the table.

At a glance

Best for

• Shading reds and purples without going muddy
• Royal cloth, robes, banners and red gemstones

One careful wash and a flat red turns into deep, dramatic fabric with real weight to it.

A little goes a long way. Pair with a clean basecoat and a detail brush, or add Druchii Violet for your purples.
