Series 4

This particular shade of Quinacridone Red is one of the first red variants developed from what was originally a more violet quinacridone (no, Matisse did not make a mistake when they list the pigment information as PV19) and is particularly transparent. if opacity is required then reach for the Cadmium Red but transparency is required. The artist may be using a glazing technique, or looking for that jewel-like fire in a color from the light traveling through the color. If that is what is needed then put the Cadmium Red back and reach for the tube of Quinacridone Red.
