Inorganic & Organic Mix - Brilliant Pink is luminous and has an intense presence. The complementary vibrations it sets up with the greens, particularly Emerald Green, have to be seen to be believed. It forms a lean surface, and since the red is supplied by Quinacridone, a permanent organic pigment, the undertones are bluish yet warm, and are disclosed in further hues and mixes.
