P.R.223 used to have some commercial importance before it was withdrawn from the market. The pigment produces a bluish red shade, bluer even than P.R.170. Its main market was in high grade industrial finishes. Good lightfastness and durability in full shades and the fact that it met certain specifications made it suitable for use on public transportation vehicles. However, the pigment is not fast to overpainting.
