Dioxazine Purple is the shade that makes a sketch pop — deep, slightly blue-shifted, and impossible to replicate with a basic purple crayon. The Derwent Pastel Pencil in Dioxazine Purple (P280) puts that exact pigment into a round-barrel, colour-grade pencil. Soft powdery core, smooth velvety lay-down, and it blends into adjacent colours without muddying. Whether you're shading a portrait or building up a watercolour underpainting, this one earns its spot on the desk
