Chemically, PR 83 is derived from anthracene, a coal-tar derivative. Possibly he meant that their choice of material in this instance "derives" from satisfying their idea of a "match" for genuine madder?

Most colorsts' offerings are "signature" and this is more true of small "boutique" makers. Vasari makes excellent paint IMO.
