*Warning - Mission Gold brand seems to have some batch to batch issues (one batch seemed more greenish-brown than yellow) and due to that I would not actively seek it out.

Despite its opacity, Cadmium is notably unique. Your choice of red may vary by subject matter painted. When mixing replicas / dupes of other brand's convenience colors you can get variable results using the same pigment codes from other brands, and remarkably similar results using different codes altogether. Lightfast paint ratings conforming to standards set by ASTM International (originally ASTM, or American Society for Testing and Materials) are often printed on paint tubes. This works best on textured paper like cold press or rough press (not smooth hot press) where the pigment particles can settle into the tiny dips and valleys of the paper surface. Discover Liquid paints, many of which are actually dye-based inks, are not lightfast. 6) PR209 - Quin. Rosa Gallery brand from the Ukraine is available from Spain at Artmiranda, USA on Etsy or OmniaPro and on rare occasions they list sets on Amazon. PR209 was a good replacement for PV19 and PB28 from White Nights is remarkably beautiful in the second mixture below. Figuring out which brand version will best fill the slot between the other 2 reds I've already chosen will be tough. Not to be confused with english red, burnt sienna hues and other non-granulating versions of PR101. I am currently lightfast testing hundreds of reds in search for a good replacement. 8) PG18 - Viridian: This seems to vary substantially in behavior between brands. Varies by batch from more yellow to more brown, but always makes a lovely beach sand color when diluted. 9) PG50 AND/OR PB28 - Cobalt Teal / Turquoise (two pigment codes for extremely similar bright teal-blue colors). While warm in comparison to PR122, PV42 and many varieties of PV19, this red is quite cool compared to other standard "red" colors.

Golden, the maker of Qor watercolor, did a study about PY3's lightfastness which determined that it's SOMETIMES fugitive in one brand and lightfast in another. As results become available, verified UV stable choices will continue to be added to this page. I do not recommend Daniel Smith's Lemon Yellow because it is desaturated and dull looking compared to the brighter lemon of W&N's version. Many are cloudy or totally opaque, such as PY35 Cadmium Lemon. Often listed as LFII or 3 of 5 stars on Schmincke's scale. Viridian mixed with PR209 creates a variable range of gray, which can be extremely interesting in wet washes where granulation is encouraged. For now, Schmincke or Winsor & Newton's PY175 appear to be a decent alternative. and brushes (Princeton Heritage for point/spring, Neptune for holding a lot of water). Make sure they are clearly labeled with the specifications we discussed above. Coral, Red or Cherry: As far as the variety of "warm reds" go, this is about as cool-leaning (towards pink) as it gets. One exception is the Dr. Ph. 5) ***Cool Yellow - PY175 instead of PY3??? Cadmium is opaque though, so mixtures with it are limited in value depth (reducing it's usefulness in glazing/layering).

Caution - some brands do not distinguish when it's PB15:3 (Blue-Green shade, not PB15:1 Red shade). I choose paints with ASTM ratings of LFI to LFII, with the exception of PR122 Magenta that is under-rated due to an older test marking it as LFIII in 1999 (likely an error since many brands have been thoroughly UV tested by myself/handprint resulting in LFI masstone II diluted/BW7-8). Some artists love deep rose reds, like Alizarin Crimson PR83 and Anthra Red PR177 - both of which are fugitive with severe fading issues. Tips for beginners starting their first professional palette on a budget: If you want to start off with the smallest number of useful colors, buying a primary mixing trio made up of Magenta, Yellow and Cyan will allow for countless combinations from just 3 colors. PV19 often called Permanent Rose as well as PV42 Quin Pink/Magenta are also solid choices. Only major retailer for Roman Szmal. The most granulating is Daniel Smith. If you think you'll need stop-sign or fire engine reds, Pyrrol or Cadmium Red PR108 are options, but I do not reach for these colors often. There are actually several nearly identical pigments that can be used as a "cool red" to mix vibrant purples with ultramarine or phthalo blue. Golden, the maker of Qor watercolor, did a study about PY3's lightfastness which determined that it's SOMETIMES fugitive in one brand and lightfast in another. This is OK advice when applied to single pigment paint, but it may cause you to buy extra pans of pre-made mixtures and/or cause more work to create complex mixtures like Moonglow (shown below). Extremely useful for glazing/layering techniques. I will have to determine which PV19 of the MANY available is the most unique for color mixing and add this option to the list later on. When mixed with blue it creates a lovely gently granulating succulent type pale green. Mixing tests are currently being performed to determine which ones of these are the most versatile. There is value in having both French Ultramarine and Ultramarine Finest in your palette since they have such a different texture with variable end results in mixtures. If selling original art, only certain types of museum dark lighting would be suitable for displaying fugitive dyes... and if you're going to make prints you could have painted in any close color and just adjusted the brightness in software...So I've decided it is not worthwhile to use neon colors myself outside of sketchbooks for fun.
