Winsor & Newton Watercolour Artists

Quinacridone Gold is a dark warm yellow color that was originally formulated for the car industry. It is a transparent color and mixes well with other pigments.

Please note: Pigment PR206 will be changed to PR179 soon. To reflect this pigment change, the name of this color will also change to Transparent Gold Deep, with the resulting color being an extremely close substitute for Quinacridone Gold.
