If you love orange as a color, another pigment, perinone orange, is  
also amazing. There's a clarity to it that cad. orange can't equal.  
Some time ago I was asked to paint this very orange flower, and  
nothing quite seemed to match, until I dug out the perinone. (I think  
it's from Daniel Smith) Wow. The quinacridone are such useful  
additions to the palette!!

I used the neutral tint for a recent commission, where I greyed out  
some foliage to put the flowers into better focus. The neutral tint  
handled beautifully. : )
