"
Quinacridone gold PO49 is a lightfast, transparent, staining, mid valued, moderately intense earth yellow
pigment. Manufacture of PO49 ceased in 2001 because there was insufficient demand for the pigment from automobile manufacturers, its principal consumers. Most artists' paints made with this pigment were discontinued in 2005."
"Quinacridone gold is an excellent alternative to gold ochre (PY42
) and moderately dull yellows such as nickel azomethine yellow (PY150)
or the less lightfast anthrapyramidine yellow (PY108
). It mixes well with nearly all other paints and produces transparent sap green mixtures.

I noticed the supply of Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold (PO49) starting to diminish here in late 2017. As they were the
only
manufacturer to have any remaining pigment, I bought up a few tubes to save for the future. As a result, I have more than I could ever use in my lifetime, so I am selling one here.
This pigment is coveted by watercolorists for its transparency, luminosity, and mixing characteristics. PO49 has a permanent home on many people's palettes for this reason. I made these painting using it and as you can see, it's a beauty! It's also used in the original Sap Green and Undersea Green paints so you could easily mix those as well.
Enjoy!
