M. Graham Artists’ Watercolor Tubes are made with thoughtfully selected pigments and Northwest blackberry honey, a nod to early artists who sourced their materials from nature. Custom-milled to preserve the unique qualities of each pigment, the honey’s viscosity enhances color strength and ensures easy dilution, yielding fluid, uniform washes. It also prevents colors from hardening on the palette and in the tube.

Quinacridone Gold

Pigment code
PO48
Type
organic, quinacridone
Chemical formula
C20H12N2O2 or C20H10N2O4
Properties
Quinacridone Gold is a high performance pigment. It lacks brightness and cleanliness in tints, and it may disperse unevenly. It has an average drying time. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Permanence
Quinacridone Gold has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast pigment in its shade range.
Toxicity
Quinacridone gold is not considered toxic. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
History
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.
