        Sometimes I read at http://www.artiscreation.com/ the pigments paint information.
        I have lived now decades in grey sky EU country and was thinking to go bright tropical colors for my hobby of painting.I like acrylic, gouache, watercolors, pastels, pencils etc. But want to add some tubes of very bright colors in acrylics and gouache. Any suggestions are welcome?:)

            The first one that comes to mind is cobalt teal PB28. Holbein has it in gouache I believe.

            I reference artiscreation regularly, I’m sure glad it’s there.

                Yeah…for tropical colors, I think bright teal, turquoise and cyans often take the place of deeper violet-blues. Colors tend to be pastel versions of a given hue (i.e peach instead of pure orange, pink instead of deep red, mint green rather than deep green, etc.). Just adding Titanium White can do this. Accented/balanced out with a bit of some earthy colors.
