In this video, I compare 8 different brands of Quinacridone magenta, including pigments PR202 and PR122. I test each color in watercolor and look at how they are in mass tone as well as wet-on-wet.
I also share my personal preferences for each brand, and I ask viewers to let me know their favorites in the comments below. I think this is a great opportunity to learn about different brands of Quinacridone magenta and to find the one that's right for you.
Here are the 8 brands of Quinacridone magenta that I'm comparing in this video:
Daniel Smith
Holbein
Schmincke
Winsor & Newton
Maimeri Blu
Mijello Mission Gold
Roman Szmal
Rembrandt
I hope you enjoy this video!
ℹ Here are some additional details about Quinacridone magenta:
Quinacridone magenta is a highly saturated, lightfast, and permanent pigment.
It is available in two main pigments: PR202 and PR122.
PR202 is slightly more opaque than PR122, but both pigments are very versatile and can be used in a variety of mediums.
Quinacridone magenta is a popular choice for artists because of its rich color and its ability to be used in a variety of ways, and it is one of my FAVORITE to buy and try.

For me the strength of any magenta is in its mixes, which is why I prefer PR122 in general and Schmincke's Purple Magenta in particular (though Daniel Smith's Quinacridone Lilac is a close, almost neon, second). It mixes with Pyrrol Scarlet to make blazing reds, with Hansa Yellow Medium or Deep to create a range of stunning oranges, and with Phthalo Blue Red Shade for vibrant purples. On its own, it produces soft, versatile pinks.
I don’t think I use quin magenta that frequently but I always have it in my palette. It’s such a bright and cheerful color.
It is really one of my favorite.
QoR has the most beautiful Quin Magenta I’ve seen. It’s the only QoR color on my palette.
I need to get more QoR colors myself.
I second this. Love Qors quin magenta
THANK YOU
I love that you are doing these comparisons ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! ❤️
Daniel Smith is definitely my favorite. I also have Schmincke and love it too
Great choices!
I'm looking forward to try mijello's quin magenta after I'm done with my holbein 😊 I also have the pigment in Sennelier and qor but they were not as vibrant as Holbein.
I sadly didn't have the Sennelier one. I've mainly been doing the ones I own already to save money.
@@watercolorwanderingwithk don't worry your comparison was more than enough 🥰
Jackson's again: I use their "Permanent Magenta" because it is stunning. It is the dullest, grandest, saddest, most tragic violet/magenta/(grey?) you can imagine. It is somehow PV19! (So it is still a Quinacridone... but no other Quin Violet looks like that.) Jackson's watercolours are made by Senellier and Senellier have their own "Magenta Permanent" PV19- but it is cleaner and flatter than the Jackson's version- and not nearly as much WOW factor... doesn't knock my socks off like Jackson's.
I may need to look into their brand of paints I honestly haven't yet but it is just because I have so many already
I read your description of Jackson’s magenta and had to look that up 😂 you’re right, it’s kind of incredible - definitely on the wish list now, so thanks for the lead.
If you can add more brands, may I vote for QOR?
I would like to add QOR. I just have been using ones I already own, because obviously, this can get quite pricey soon :)
I don't know anything in depth about pigments, I just buy the colors that look pretty and play! 😂 I do love quinacridone colors, I have quite a few in the pink and purple family! 😬 I am amazed at the differences in the colors, and it was real interesting to see! I look forward to some more comparisons. 😊
Yes for sure! More are on the way!
Loved this. It would have been nice to have them together, but like you say hindsight it’s a sneaky thing. Lol really this was great.
Next time!
Sorry I have not been getting notifications then someone catching up today. I would definitely go with the Daniel Smith and the mijelo mission as the colors are very different and both useful and beautiful
Oh no worries at all. I'm catching up on comments! Ha
Wow DS and Mijello look stunning😍
Yes they do!
It was interesting to see the difference between Winsor & Newton and Schminkle. They both looked the same even tho they are two different pigments. I think DS Q. Magenta is not what I would call a true Magenta.
Yeah I mean that's why this series is fun to compare by names and see how the name is something to not really look at
This is one of my most favorite colors! I have it in several brands however my favorite is QoR. Daniel Smith is a close 2nd.
I absolutely LOVE the vibrancy of all of my Mission Gold colors (quinacridone magenta is no exception) however I love granulating colors and high flow (movement) that is why QoR is my Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
In all fairness, QoR really shines when you use it with other brands. It is a "pushy" formula and creates a lot of movement. If you only use a QoR only palette this fabulous effect is lost. I hope that that makes sense.
Also, i am not sure why this video (along with several others) is not showing up under the "videos" tab. I accidentally came across it when I looked in the "community" tab. I am not sure if this is the case for everyone or not but it may be affecting the number of views you are seeing.
Hmmm I'm not sure why it's not showing up in my Videos tab either. I see it there, so it might be an issue with the device you are using. I want to try QoR -- just wish they had a dot card or something.
Having an issue with my device would not suprise me at all. My phone is like 8 years old and cell phone companies don't like that. They want you to by a new one ever year.
I know what you mean about QoR not having a dot card. I started out with the High Chroma set. I highly recommend that as a starting point. I'd also recommend adding Nickle Azo Yellow, Quinacridone Violet
And French Ultramarine.
I personally use Nickle Azo Yellow and Quinacridone Gold to mix with other brands. QoR gives other brands personality.
Thank you very useful. I would appreciate if you could put the Sennelier brand please 🙏
I'll do my best. I can't afford to purchase Sennelier for every one.
Rosa’s Rose Magenta PR122 is SO much more VIBRANT than my DS PR202 OR DS PR122! It’s very similar to your Roman Szmal..a bit darker in masstone
Yeah isn't it crazy how they can vary?
Have you tried the Grumbacher professional watercolor?
I have only a few of their tubes.
If you only purchase one Qor in your life, let it be Quin Magenta.
haha I will keep that in mind
Hard to really compare because your water mixture doesn’t seem to be the same in all the samples. What happened to the Winsor and Schmincke? They are so washed out.
Nothing that was them straight from the tube. I applied all with the same consistency
