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. I hate it when I run out. The perfect triad is:
Indian yellow O/s ball PY153. Cyan PB15.3 and Indian yellow PY153 make the green color chip sample. Magenta and cyan made the purple ball, cyan and magenta made the blue ball, Indian yellow and magenta made the red ball. 
Bocour Cobalt Violet, color not available anymore, it was cooler then PR122 but it bleed. Grumbacher Thalo Blue Old Holland Indian Yellow O/s  |
These links are to other 3 primary color paintings, the pigments are:
Dry Pigments;
Indian yellow PY153 from Zecchi,
Magenta PR122 from Sennelier,
Cyan PB15.3 from Senopia.
Food Coloring
The Easter Egg Coloring 6-pack.
Oil Paints,
Old Holland Indian Yellow Orange-side,
Old Holland Indian Yellow Brown-side, both make the same cadimium yellow hue when tinted or thinned out.
Many brands are now using Quinacridone Magenta PR122, 4-29-9
Grumbacher Thalo Blue, cyan PB15
Water Colors,
Daniel Smith New Gamboge PY153 (or Golden PY150) Nickel Dioxine is the best Indian Yellow O/s pigment.
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Magenta PV202 is more to the cyan side so it's not perfect for me.
Grumbacher Thalo Crimson PV19 is more to the warm side so it's not perfect for making blues.
PR122 is the perfect magenta.
Grumbacher Thalo Blue PB15
is the perfect transparent cyan primary color to mix and make any color in front of me as I paint oil or any media.
Acrylics
New! 7-1-6, Golden primary set.
Golden Acrylics, Indian Yellow Hue golden/side transparent. Nickel Complex Azo PY150 (same as PY153), with Quinacridone PR206 and Arylide yellow PY73.

Golden Acrylics Phthalo Blue PB15.4 (a little on the magenta side, Hyplar had an acrylic phthalocyanine chlorinated copper that was perfect, they called it PB15.
It is the same hue as Grumbacher's perfect oil color Thalo blue.)

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. To use this pigment 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 know it's wrong.
My color wheel adds to that, giving the ability to mix all opposite secondary colors to 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.
11-20-8, The day before yesterday I ran out of the color MediaStreet calls G-7 cyan in my plotter. I have two bottles on hand so it was no problem.
Instead of just refilling my homemade bulk ink system I decided now was the time to work on my Spectra cyan. Spectra had sent me cyan in two forms, dry pigment and liquid.
This is how I tested and compared the different products. An eye dropper will give equal amounts per drop if the viscosity is the same or not. My viscosities are the same.
For each color ink I made a chip color of 1 ink to 0 water = 1:0, the full ink color. And 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6 all the way up to 1:24.
Spectramine Blue FBLK LIQ, Direct Blue 199 is the only color matching the Grumbacher Thalo blue oil paint that I love and promote. Spectra Colors Corp. is a pigment manufacturer.
They make that transparent color in dry pigment and water ink.
As far as the different ink colors for different plotters is concerned, this is what I found. MediaStreet G-6 cyan for the 4 and 6 color plotters reaches the same value by deluting the Specta "cyan" like this, 1 Spectra (cyan) : 2 water : 1/4 ethylene glycol. I use the addition of ethylene glycol as a slower drying lubricant for my plotter's heads. TIP: For cleaning purposes, ammonia distroys dried ink, it breaks it up which is good for cleaning printing heads. Alcohol dissolves dried ink, also good for cleaning heads.
This final color was still too dark for print my opinion. The cyan it prints on my color wheel looks too blue. Remember, cyan changes to blue as it gets darker.
For my plotter I settled on 2:5:1/2, two spectra liquid, five water and 1/2 ethylene glycol.
4-29-9, Media Street abruptly stopped selling inks. :(
