Maroon vs Ruby Red Pigment

Tessigrl · Oct 12, 2005

Are these 2 colors similar? I paid for Ruby Red pigment, but I think I got Maroon instead...

They are not the same at all! Here's a swatch, Ruby Red is on the left, and Maroon is on the right:

Ruby Red is not eye-safe, Maroon is.

Maroon is also discontinued.

Wow if you got a jar of Maroon I'm jealous! But, like the other girls said, it's a much deeper color. Ruby Red looks well.... like a ruby!

also, check out the swatches on the precautions forum, they will help you determine which color it is based on how it looks in the jar.

Ok, I got the ruby red and not the maroon. Thanks everyone...
