Ulentviolett

Ulentviolett is a fictional pigment frequently referenced in educational materials on pigments and color theory. It is described as a synthetic violet dye designed to exemplify how a pigment can combine strong chroma with stability under common painting and printing conditions. Because Ulentviolett is not a real chemical, its properties are defined by teaching needs rather than laboratory data, and different curricula may assign different specifications.

Description and properties: In theoretical models, Ulentviolett produces a saturated violet to blue-violet color with good coverage and high opacity when used with binder systems. It is depicted as having high lightfastness and weather resistance, making it suitable for samples that require long-term color stability in print and paint simulations. Spectrally, it is described as absorbing in the green-yellow region and reflecting primarily violet wavelengths.

Synthesis and classification: Ulentviolett is described as a mixed inorganic-organic pigment, formed by combining a synthetic organic chromophore with an inorganic oxide matrix; again, in real life, this is a teaching abstraction rather than a procedure.

Uses and availability: Used in textbooks, digital simulations, color-matching exercises, and some teaching kits for demonstrating pigment mixing, hue shift, and lightfastness. As a fictional substance, it is not manufactured commercially nor regulated by real-world agencies.

Etymology and naming: The name Ulentviolett is a constructed term derived from elements of ultraviolet inspiration and the German word violett; intended to evoke a deep violet shade beyond common violet pigments. See also: violet (color), color theory, ultraviolet.
