Descripción
Synthetically produced brick red color iron oxide artists' pigment. Originally, the name "Indian red" was used for red earth pigments imported from the Persian Gulf and India; in the early 18th century, a synthetic Indian red composed of pure ferric oxide was made from steel mill wastes. It is a dense, opaque, permanent pigment.
