Interesting. Thank you for letting us know.

I never connected Quin Gold to the harvest gold of the 70’s, but it makes sense. Quinacridone colours are so vibrant and luminous. Those changes will really be missed. Thanks for the update.

I had an old gold Chevy just like in the Elton John song Crocodile Rock. 1972 Nova

I had read somewhere about quinacridone gold being discontinued. Thanks for the informative update!😢

Thanks for this info, now we know!

Quin Gold and quin violet...😢 This sounds like an opportunity for some enterprising chemist to explore !! Its a niche industry, but has potential!!

Daniel Smith’s chemists did. At least for quin gold.

I have a tube of original PO49 Quin Gold. I’ll sell it for $500. Supply and demand is a real thing, whether you like it or not. You’d sell it for $500 also, if you had it.
