GOLDEN SoFlat Matte Acrylic Paint Dioxazine Violet Deep — 118 ml Jar, Ultra-Matte High-Pigment Coverage

GOLDEN SoFlat Matte Acrylic in Dioxazine Violet Deep is a professional-grade, ultra-matte acrylic paint formulated for rich, even, glare-free colour fields with superior coverage and leveling.

SoFlat is a purpose-built acrylic designed to deliver the flat, opaque appearance of gouache with the permanence and water resistance of acrylic polymer. This 4 fl. oz. jar of Dioxazine Violet Deep (PV23 with PW6) gives you an intensely saturated bluish-purple that stays stable and lightfast in finished work. GOLDEN developed SoFlat to help painters achieve smooth, uniform passages of colour in fewer layers—ideal for large areas, photorealistic backgrounds, and contemporary flat-colour techniques.

How does SoFlat give a true matte finish without looking dull?

The formula balances pigments and medium to minimize glare while preserving a strong chroma. Instead of simply scattering light like some matting agents, SoFlat levels out as it dries to create a consistent velvety surface that reads vivid yet non-reflective.

• specially formulated binder for an even, glare-free surface
• high pigment load yields saturated colour without sheen
• flows and levels to reduce brush and roller texture

Will Dioxazine Violet Deep cover underlying colours in fewer coats?

Yes—this shade is engineered for opacity and coverage. The combination of PV23 with titanium dioxide improves hiding power so artists can lay down broad, immersive colour fields with reduced glazing and fewer correction layers.

• opaque mass tone helps block previous layers
• dense pigment concentration for deep hue in one or two coats
• consistent drying and film formation reduce reworking time

Is this paint archival and suitable for professional work?

GOLDEN SoFlat carries ASTM Lightfastness II (Very Good) and is formulated for permanence when used under recommended conditions. It dries to a durable, water-resistant film and is made in the USA by an experienced, employee-owned company.

• ASTM Lightfastness II — very good resistance to fading
• durable, water-resistant dry film for display and handling
• vegan formulation and manufactured with global ingredients

How does SoFlat handle with brushes and other tools?

The consistency is tuned to flow smoothly off brushes, rollers, and knives while maintaining enough body to avoid sagging on vertical surfaces. It levels out during drying, so brush marks are minimized, making it easier to create uniform areas or crisp edges with masking techniques.

• brush-friendly viscosity that reduces drag and streaking
• levels to a flat surface, minimizing visible brushwork
• compatible with common tools: brushes, rollers, palette knives

Who is this for: GOLDEN SoFlat Matte Acrylics in Dioxazine Violet Deep is aimed at professional and serious studio artists who need a deeply saturated, non-reflective purple for large colour fields, contemporary flat painting, set and prop work, and mixed-media pieces where a uniform matte surface is essential. It's also a strong choice for illustrators and designers seeking gouache-like opacity with acrylic durability. Avoid heavy thinning or incompatible extenders to maintain its formulated matte performance.
