10-25-04 Testimonial msg= Hi Don, Send me a Zip of the RCW please. Yours is the first really useful colour wheel that I have found as it is good for photography as well as for paint. I'd like the zip so that it can be printed to A3 size for use as a teaching aid in a photography course in the UK. Thanks in advance
Hooray! My 30 grams of Sennelier's Quinacridone Red, #679, for $55 w/ship arrived. IT IS THE PERFECT TRANSPARENT MAGENTA, BAR NONE. It's Pigment Index Color Number is PR122. This is the dry pigment magenta you need for frescos and all other media. Only Sennelier has it as dry pigment. The perfect triad is:
First is transparent Indian yellow O/s then transparent Indian yellow Br/s
Transparent Triad Colors in 6 round color chips, except for the first ball,
opaque ultramarine blue PB29.
Oppositions, opaque red PR88 or cad red PR108, transparent cyan PB15.3. Using each other's color to make a neutral dark shadow.
Oppositions Transparent Magenta PR122, Transparent Green PG35, using each other's color to make a neutral dark shadow.
The black ball was made with this transparent triad.
This is the cool three color transparent triad in oils makes perfect
blues, reds and greens.

I have been working with a chemical company called Spectra Colors Corp. in my home State, N.J., 4-2-6, to provide my transparent yellow color. Spectracid Tartrazine 170 / Acid Yellow 23 / Azo / C.A.S#: 1934.21.0 / H:1 F:0 R:0 P:D / APR 25,2006 / Lot # T14976 / Scc Order # : 63305, is my choice. This is it, an Indian Yellow for plotters and artists. It is very permanent, never changing at all after 2 months in the hot Lahaina Sun, the ball point writing is gone. Ethylene Glycol added to the pigment made it waterproof ink when dry. As a water color add gum arabic and a little honey. To make an excellent acrylic transparent yellow equal to PY153 dioxine nickel complex or PY108 Anthrapyrmidine, add some acrylic gel. The amount of water added to the pigment to print a cadmium yellow light is 1:9. In this image there are 3 cups of 1:9 mixtures, (they all look simular) this is the pigment and dilution I'm printing with.
The two rows are two different pigments. Printing with full strength (1:1 with water) the ink printed a cadmium yellow medium hue color. 1:9 is what the plotter needs to bring it down to cad yellow light hue. All colors with yellow included in them are rich.
Imagine saying red (which is made of yellow and magenta), is the primary color and giving magenta a code like PR:122. That's Pigment Red #122 to the artist trade. We all know that's wrong. Or should be wrong.
Yes, the Yellow, Cyan, Magenta color wheel is accurate, not the red, yellow, blue colour wheel. Compare them. My color wheel adds to that, giving the ability to mix all opposite colors into a black hue.
This is a big problem today, because all of our State's School Standards are commanded to teaching the Red, Yellow and Blue as primary colors. Very sad.
