There’s a lot of smart marketing people and “influencers”. They should put their powers to good use and make Quinacridone gold cars popular again. In fact make colorful cars more popular in general.

As a pigment nerd and hoarder, this series is gonna be very helpful to me.😅 Thank you for this. Missing your reviews and news updates btw. 😊

Never had any of these colors but man, the Burnt Orange and Gold Deep are both so so pretty I'm really sad they're gone ;m;

[britbrat]

I never thought I would be happy that I accidentally ordered 2 ultra marine pinks a year ago!! I am so shocked in this video because I had no idea qor had discontinued colors ...thank you for keeping us informed.

[analudraws]

Thank you for the very informative video! When I learned we were at the mercy of car pigments, I was shocked.

[s.maskell]

I'm glad they provide ways to mix. This is a good series - thanks for starting it.

Quin burnt orange (po 48) and brown madder (po 206) are my favourite pigments in general. they are perfect for drawing people. my heart was broken when I heard about discontinuation for the first time. I wish industry of artist paints was more independent

[PauloEAbreu]

Such an interesting series. Can not wait for the other episodes!!!

[derwood]

thanks, I picked up a Quin gold deep, quin burnt orange, and cobalt violet from my local Blick today.

I use the ultramarine pink and mix it with ultra marine violet and make a more transparent form of soft granulating lilac. M.Graham carries a great ultramarine pink and I actually prefer this to the 2 pigment of Daniel Smith of the ultramarine blue and the ultramarine pink. I don’t believe DS sells the one pigment so there is an option for those who like that. It’s a bummer. Thank you Eve for your information and giving the heads up on those pigments. Some family run businesses have access to the original quin gold pigment but I have adjusted because the prices are ridiculous. I get it that some collect wc and that is their thing but the prices for a half pan are nuts. I have made my own paints and ground them but maybe I am just old and cranky and feel that there is a bit too much hoopla over some of these when one can create their own. I was scammed by a famous handmade paint company and they are still out there. Becoming familiar over the years with professional quality of even handmade paints is a protection. Anyways I thought I would post because you do have very good updates and I went a little off the subject. 😂

This is a fascinating series to be doing, especially for us pigment nerds. Thank you!

Lack of interest from car companies is one factor, but (at least from what I can tell from Golden's videos) part of the issue is mergers/subsequent cost-cutting measures by pigment makers.

Hopefully this is more of a "goodbye for now" — notably, Cobalt Teal was discontinued by Golden in 2012 and re-introduced in 2018. It's not a perfect 1:1 match to the original pigment, but it's so close I think most people would be pretty happy. Perhaps some of the discontinued quinacridones will come back into fashion later on?

[watercolorista]

Being an absolute pigment nerd 😅 I will love your new series.❤
One question to this episode:
what about these pigments from GOLDEN declared as "not available" concerning other brands like SCHMINCKE HORADAM or WINSOR&NEWTON or DANIEL SMITH?
Will ALL watercolors containing these pigments no matter from what brand be not available in the future?

Majestic cat ❤
Clear and concise information as always. Love your channel!

[jessbutterfly]

Love this thank you could you please do Daniel smith next

[kourtneyreilly]

I emailed M Graham to see if any of their colors will be affected they said only Nickel Quinacridone Gold

[brigitteitg]

I will really miss PO48, though I stocked up on Daniel Smith’s Quin Burnt Orange. I tried to stock up on PR206 by buying two large tubes from Winsor and Newton, but they were labelled wrong. I contacted their customer service and they agreed that they were the new replacement pigments in old tubes, but they basically just shrugged it off and offered neither apology nor replacement/compensation. I was not impressed... So stocking up doesn’t always work, unfortunately.

It is very sad to lose a pigment. I trust you to keep us informed. Thank you for what you do, love the newsy series that you do!

[CBWebb]

What a fun series-- I hope to see one on PY153, my very favorite yellow. I was mourning that one while most were mourning quinacridone gold, though you can still get a bit of the pigment from schmincke, and they still have it in their Indian yellow in their gouache line! I do worry about how sad these videos are going to get this year though if some of the whispers about further quinacridones is true. I've been worrying about that color range given the past couple of years, so many of them being proprietary, and due to them being tougher pigments to manufacture.

This is a great idea 💡. I’m trying not to horde my pigments. I have to fight my inner dragon 🐉. 🥰
