This is a sketch from last February of a chair in my house. It’s actually one of the last pieces of furniture left in the house from when I was a teen. I swatched all the quinacridones that I have without repeating a color name and spread across brands because I dont have them all in a single brand. To work with them in a single painting, I would recommend quin purple blue shade, which I did place as an extra swatch in the red and orange section to see just how blue or gray it could look. I did a few mixes and still find that I like quin gold with purple and gold with scarlet by Roman Szmal (but I think that color has given me a headache before and I don’t use it much) and burnt scarlet with purple. The green swatch is gold and PBK11 which is not quinacridone. It makes for a very warm palate. It would be amazing to have a single pigment non granulating transparent blue violet like pv15 blue shade or smalt hue.

I personally recommend some of these for cool reds, if looking for primaries, specifically pr209, pv19 red or rose, and pr122. The others are more secondary color-leaning, but are still very nice for mixes like quin gold hue.

In the Winsor Newton line, I like gamboge for a nice ink-like yellow (more yellow than quin gold) but not single pigment (both of these were originally single pigment po49 and py153 now discontinued and given a replacement pigment or mix (known as a hue) different in each brand). Po48 and pr206 above may soon be replaced that way too, which will leave the primary reds and the violets. There seems to be a trend towards getting rid of the orange leaning ones, like po47.
