Holbein Artist Oil Colors quinacridone Opera 40 ml

Quin Magenta (PR122) is the primary pigment of this paint according to AI (see below). But the quantum boost of color is due to an added flourecent die. This, unfortunately, risks the intense chroma to fade under UV, temperature stress, etc. When used as a high point in a value\chroma scale it works wonders but your work may look a little less amazing after some time. As for me, I'll take it, since there is nothing in my paint box that can kick so hard. I wonder if using a UV shielding coating would help without killing the intensity. So, limitted use, maybe, but it's cool to experience this chromatic super power even if it's short lived. Excerpt from the cloudy brains of GPT\Copilot: Holbein's Quinacridone Opera oil paint typically contains a combination of pigments, including a fluorescent dye. The main pigment is Quinacridone Magenta (PR122), which is known for its vibrant and intense magenta color. This pigment is often paired with a fluorescent dye to enhance the brightness and create the distinctive, vivid color characteristic of Quinacridone Opera.Here is a typical composition: PR122 (Quinacridone Magenta): This is the primary pigment, providing the base color. Fluorescent Dye: Added to intensify the brightness and luminosity of the paint, giving it a unique glowing effect.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Gorgeous color. It is slightly darker than a true fluorescent pink but still bright and punchy with a little titanium white. I swatched it next to similar colors so the difference can be seen for those wondering. Definitely worth the price!

Beautifully bright color pink, transparent so layers beautifully. Works best with a little medium.

Such a beautiful color. I don't use florescent colors in my oil very much bit I had to try this. It's so beautiful. I love to mix it with a lot of colors. The punch is there. Grab this if you can. You won't be disappointed. Will purchase again.

Who doesn't love Opera Pink? The paint is radiant. Perfect for tropical art works. It's sad that opera pink is a fugitive color. It will fade badly in watercolors. I hope it has better lightfastness in oil, but I doubt it. Time will tell.

I’ve been using this product for about 3 years and love its chroma. Holbine is always quality paint. If your a floral painter, this color is a must have.

Opera is one of my favorite vibrant colors

The color tone is very bright, I enjoyed using it alone and also mixing with other colors to mute it a bit.

This product is one of the best . So transparent and bright. Gives a sheen to painting. I am in love with this colour .

Great color

サンプル画像と全然色が違った。オレンジが入ってない濃いピンクでした。色を確認するのに使ってしまったので返品は難しそうです。
