The permanent rose is my favorite ❤️ It’s a happy 😊 color. Bless you for another calming and informative video. You take such loving care in all that you do 🙏
It’s so hard to pick one since they each have their own personality. I love the permanent rose because it’s so delicate. I love the cherry quin you swatched in another video because it reminds me of lollipops and the reds of candy and childhood. I love the quin coral as it reminds me of the red used with turquoise in the 1950s. The Bordeaux makes me think of my mom’s lipstick and nail polish in the early ‘80s. I’m rambling. Thank you for another thoughtful video that leaves me feeling inspired and peaceful.
I absolutely love the way you approach colours! I'm much the same, giving little stories to colours and attaching some to memories! Just looking at colours can give us so much joy!!☺️💖
Another lovely swatching video, thank you! I believe you are pretty much correct in your pronunciation of ‘doré’, which is French for ‘golden’. Rose doré is a beautiful colour.
Lily, thank you for these swatching lives, you have really opened my eyes to the world of color and paint techniques! Sorry for the late arrival, but I still picked up some new colors for my project. So glad I found your channel!🤩
Oh no, is it not? The Daniel Smith site states it has a 'very good' lightfast rating! It would be such a shame if it wasn't, as it is such a lovely colour!😞
@@lilymoonart Lightfastness ratings from companies are generally questionable. Pigments aren't always tested in watercolour form, or diluted, and that can (as far as I've understood) really skew the results. Some pigments lose colour in mid to light washes only. On top of that others become duller or grey in UV light, and some can be affected by heat, humidity, acid (like PV14) or just by being in oxygen (like DS Rhodonite). The Mayan Red becomes much duller and loses the glow and hue I loved it for. It was noticeable after just 4 months in a sunny window in Sweden, and colours should be up (according to the lightfastness queen Kimberly Crick) for at least a year (so I've put it up again). As far as I can tell the only company that seems straightforward regarding lightfastness is QoR. They do their own rigorous testing of their watercolours. That being said, there are _pigments_ we can trust to be lightfast! There can be some variation between brands and batches though, and some pigments seem to vary more than others, like PV23. Other, normally stable pigments can also vary in lightfastness but to a much smaller extent, like the common PV19, PR122, PB29, PB60 etc, but it's very slight in my experience. And then there are pigments that are generally Not lightfast, no matter how much companies claim them to be. Off the top of my head those include PY74, PR170, PR177, PO64, PR83, PY40, genuine Rose Madder and operas. And there are probably more that I just can't think of right now. Pigments like PR242, PR112 and PB27 are questionable, as is PY83 (like in DS Aussie Red Gold which loses intensity real noticeably. However, the QoR PY83 has held up better in my tests), and PO73 and PY3 have a tendency to disappear in the most diluted washes but seem otherwise reliable. Handprint is an amazing resource in this, as is Kimberly Crick's videos and blog. Others have shared their experiences with DS' Primatek line and colours that haven't been lightfast are DS Mayan Blue Genuine (that one I've tested myself), DS Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, DS Sicklerite, DS Amethyst. And I will say that my Green Apatite has seemed to fade in the light washes, and the Mayan Dark Blue did lighten and dull somewhat. Nowadays I'm always suspicious when something has an enticing name and I put some extra time and effort into researching lightfastness/stability and/or doing my own testing. (Although with a very slow pace.) I am sure there's more but I'm exhausted and can't think anymore. Hope this helps a bit! ☺️
@@lilymoonart I mean, this only matters if you sell or hang originals! If you scan your work then you can disregard lightfastness and just go with the flow! ☺️
Thank you, Lily! Quin Coral and WN Quin Red look really similar to me. I recently purchased Quin Coral after seeing you swatch it in your favorites video (I think?), and I really love it!
They are quite similar Jill, you are right! However I do find that Quin Coral is a teeeeny bit warmer than Quin Red, enough for it to sway me in it's direction haha. I am so happy to hear you love it too!❤️
Thank you for these beautiful swatches! ❤ I think my favorites are the Rose Dore and quin coral. Really looking forward to your video on limited palettes too!
I have started to add the month/year dates in the upper right hand corner of my swatch paper…hopefully it will help me with determining lightfastness…and it dates my progress, too…as I’m learning so many new and different things ….and ways of doing them! I love your method. ❤️
Lovely collection of reds❤ it’s nice to see the two PR 209s swatched, I only have the Daniel Smith version and have wondered about the differences. I think you may like PR 264 winsor red deep, it’s somewhere in between winsor red and Bordeaux and lovely for fall and winter. For an aubergine, have you tried PV 29 perelyne violet? it’s very similar in colour to the fruit
Definitely a pink(s) person here, I have to say I rather love all of the pink swatches kind of very much. But most of all I recently got the Kuretake 100 so you just re-schooled me basically how many colors I actually do have 😮 YAY🎉‼️
These reds are beautiful! Winsor & Newton's Rose Dore is also one of my fave colors. The paint's very expensive in where I live, sadly. I've been searching out for some dupes and so far Holbein's Scarlet Lake and Schmincke's Quin Red Light have the closest if not the same color with Rose Dore. They are without granulation though and have different pigments. But maybe you want to check them out.
Quin Rose by Daniel Smith is a must-have for mixing. Have you ever watched Dr. Oto Kano on UA-cam? She’s covered every color by almost every manufacturer. Lots of info. That Bordeaux is gorgeous, btw.
This is such a helpful video! I have always a wanted to try Rose Dore, but thought it was probably very similar to Quin. Coral which I have and love! Thanks to you I see the difference! Looking forward to your yellows video. Reds I love and have been using are: Sennelier Vermillion and Carmine. Wondering what you think of Alizarin Crimson and Rose Madder. I thought I have read that they both are prone to fading. Now I am not sure.
@@nancysharp3933 I also read that Rose Madder and Alizarin Crimson are fugitive. Check on UA-cam for lightfastness test videos, you might find these paints in one of the videos. Search for watercolour lightfastness test or something like that.

Diana your comment made my day, no exaggeration, thank you so much!❤️❤️
Permanent rose is my favourite one out of these swatches, but really they are all wonderful.
Yes! More means Gilt in English! Love your swatching videos!

That is the most cheerful swatch card I have ever seen! I love them all...but Quin Coral is in my top five colors. Sooooo happy!
Another lovely swatching video, thank you!

Thank you so much Rachel! I always wonder if I am pronouncing things correct and it's a relief to find out I am with Rose Dore!☺️❤️

You are so welcome Kd! Lovely to talk to you at the premiere! ❤️😊
@@lilymoonart❤🎉
These are lovely. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
This is really helpful! Thank you 🤗
Wow! QoR’s Pyrrol Red Medium packs a punch! Mayan Red is so beautiful - just wish it had better lightfastness. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, it's such a shame it isn't lightfast, such a beautiful hue!❤️☺️
Patty-I love the color red. This has been a pleasure to watch. Really made my day.
I am so happy you enjoyed it Patti!☺️
For reds my favorite is quin red. For pinks I am really liking that permanent rose. Generally I go for quin rose for a cool red/pink.
I absolutely adore the Mayan Red, I really wish it were lightfast!
Oh no, is it not? The Daniel Smith site states it has a 'very good' lightfast rating! It would be such a shame if it wasn't, as it is such a lovely colour!😞

Lovely red colours...but the Rose Dore is my favourite!
Good choice❤️😊 !
Thank you for these beautiful swatches! ❤ I think my favorites are the Rose Dore and quin coral. Really looking forward to your video on limited palettes too!
We share the same taste in pinks! 😊💗I am looking forward to making the limited palettes videos! ❤️
One of my sentimental favorites is Winsor & Newton's Scarlet Lake, though Sennelier's Scarlet Laquer is almost identical.
I have started to add the month/year dates in the upper right hand corner of my swatch paper…hopefully it will help me with determining lightfastness…and it dates my progress, too…as I’m learning so many new and different things ….and ways of doing them! I love your method. ❤️

I love red period. So...I'd have to say I like all of them. I can't remember if you've missed a color family or not. Blues maybe??
Rose Doreé, like you said, it's like "golden rose".
These reds are beautiful! Winsor & Newton's Rose Dore is also one of my fave colors. The paint's very expensive in where I live, sadly.

Rose Dore by DaVinci is beautiful
Very nice colours, for a muted red which makes a very nice pink i would suggest Schminckes Madder Brown Nr. 670.
Thank you for the lovely suggestion Verena! 🙌😊
Quin Rose by Daniel Smith is a must-have for mixing. Have you ever watched Dr. Oto Kano on UA-cam? She’s covered every color by almost every manufacturer. Lots of info. That Bordeaux is gorgeous, btw.

I love permanent rose and quin coral
lovely choices!☺️
Rose dore in other brands Wallace Seymour, Micheal Harding, Senniler and old Holland
