DANIEL SMITH Ultimate Acrylic Quinacridone 8 Tube Set with Quinacridone PurpleSince introducing them in 1993, We've received nothing but praise for our Quinacridone colors, along with some polite requests for the correct pronunciation. (It's Kwin ak' ri doan). These high-performance synthetic pigments range from gold, deep orange, coral and scarlet to rose, violet, magenta and maroon. They are beautifully transparent, highly light fast, durable at all tinting levels, maintain outstanding color intensity and are truly unsurpassed. Quinacridone Burnt Orange, Gold and Burnt Scarlet have replaced Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna on many artists' palettes. The colors are similar, but brighter, cleaner and much more transparent, so they are ideal for glazing in watercolors, oils or acrylics. Quinacridone Coral has a beautiful pinkish-orange glow. And Quinacridone Red, a clean true red, is a beautiful, reliable mixer.
