Napthol AS-D - PR12 | Synthetic Iron Oxide - PY42
Synthetic Iron Oxide - PY101 | Zinc Oxide - PW4
Titanium Dioxide Rutile - PW6
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent

Many companies call this "Flesh Tint". We don't care for this term and are reminded of some of the rose-colored enamels in Canton-Ware. Excellent for portrait painting!.

 
Montserrat Orange
#584 Montserrat Orange
Zinc Oxide - PW7 | Quinacridone - PV19
C.P. Cadmium Sulfide - PO20
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent

One of those mysterious colors that could feel like pale, warm apricot, or in the right take on an almost rosy, pink glow.
 
Alizarin Orange (Golden)
#534 Alizarin Orange (Golden)
1,2 Dihydroxyanthraquinone - PR83
Diarylide - PY83
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent

Transparent, clear, and rich. Beautiful as a golden glazing color. Very warm, almost sultry, in its color saturation.
 
Cadmium Orange
#546 Cadmium Orange
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PO20
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Many people consider this a perfect true orange.
 
Permanent Orange
#543 Permanent Orange
Dipyrrolopyrrol - PO73
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Less opaque than our cadmium orange.Very rich, almost wet looking - sort of like an orange candy Lifesaver. Considered permanent when used full strength and durable in thin glazes and pale tints.
 
Permanent Red-Orange
#563 Permanent Red-Orange
Dinitranaline - PO5
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A strong, somewhat sour, tomato-like red orange.
 
Cadmium Red Light
#587 Cadmium Red Light
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PR108

Intense scarlet. Some might call this a Cadmium Orange-Red.
 
Cadmium Red Vermilion
#597 Cadmium Red Vermilion
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PR108
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Does not contain mercuric sulfide - instead this is a Cadmium with the intensity and sweetness of Genuine Vermilion. It lays between our Cadmium Red and Cadmium Red Light.

Mercury Sulfide - PR106
When available, depending on pigment availability.
 
Cadmium Red Medium
#607 Cadmium Red Medium
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PR108
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A true medium. Not heading too much into the blue or orange. With cadmiums this is a difficult balance to maintain.
 
Fanchon Red
#624 Fanchon Red
Napthol AS-D PR112
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
This is a very beautiful high-keyed red- different from cadmium red in that it leans toward warm, glowing pinks when added to white. This is a very useful bright red for mixing. It stays cleaner and clearer than most other reds in mixes. Warmer than Quinacriodone Red.
 
Pyrazolone Red Scarlet #635 Pyrazolone Red Scarlet
Pyrazolone - PR38
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Superb Color, similar to Cadmium Red Light in its orange - like warmth, but extremely versatile as a mixing color - very clear pinks. Also, it can accept blues in mixing without turning muddy.
 
Pyrazolone Red Deep #645 Pyrazolone Red Deep
Pyrazolone - PR38
Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Even though it has quite a strong bluish undertone, it will not gray - out when yellow is added. This is a color many people think of as cherry red. In mass-tone it's similar to Cadmium Red Purple, but mixes very differently.
 
Cadmium Red Deep
#647 Cadmium Red Deep
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PR108
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Slightly bluish. A true "cherry" red. Some might consider this a medium red.
 
Cadmium Red Purple
#657 Cadmium Red Purple
c.p. cadmium sulfo-selenide - PR108
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A red so deep and bluish that it's called purple. Very heavy, with extreme covering power.
 
Quinacridone Red (Rose)
#665 Quinacridone Red
Quinacridone - PV19
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
Many companies use the term "rose" for this pigment, which means that they are thinning out an intense ruby-like red. Our is full strength. A superb mixing color. The cleanest pinks, flesh tones, and violets can be made with it.
 
Quinacridone Magenta
#775 Quinacridone Magenta
Quinacridone - PR122
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A quinacridone that fits perfectly between our red and violet shades. A true, ultra rich magenta that stops just short of becoming violet Prismatic in its clarity with a warm inner glow.
 
Permanent Crimson
#685 Permanent Crimson
Anthranquinone - PR177
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
An absolutely permanent, lightfast substitute for Alizarin Crimson. Not at all electric or synthetic looking - more down to earth than quinacridones. Exquisitely clean in mixing.
 
Alizarin Crimson
#684 Alizarin Crimson
1,2 Dihydroxyanthraquinone - PR83
Transparent / Lightfast Rating II - MODERATE LIGHTFASTNESS
Easily the strongest alizarin you can find. Incredibly beautiful, this particular shade is versatile because it can go sweet (pink) or sour (orange) very easily, depending on how it's used.
 
Perylene Crimson #686 Perylene Crimson
Perylene Maroon - PR179
Transparent / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A permanent; deep rich crimson with cool overtones and warm, yellowish undertones. This is warmer that our Permanent Crimson (anthraquinone).
 
Persian Rose
#714 Persian Rose
Napthol AS-D - PR12 | Dipyrrolopyrrol - PO73
Zinc Oxide - PW4
Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent
A rich, intense color with extremely good covering power. Like an old world rose with a slight cool, bluish glow, but with a heart of orange.
