Toluidine red is an organic compound with the formula C₁₀H₆(OH)(N₂C₆H₃(NO₂)CH₃). A dark red solid, the compound is classified as a azo dye consisting of a 2-naphthol group linked to a 2-nitro-4-methylphenyl substituent. Toluidine red is a traditional pigment, found in oil paints. Although once popular, it suffers as a pigment owing to "insufficient lightfastness and bleeding when incorporated into a paint system."
