I bought some lol. It’s a truly pretty, perfect pink.
I’ve made an unspeakable number of purchases from Culture Hustle over the last couple years for a variety of pigments and specialty paints (like Black 4.0 and glow in the dark and UV reactive pigments.) I paint board game minis for fun lol.
I used a bright white base coat with heavy application of a black wash, letting it pool to the edges of the robes. Then I went in with the Black 4.0 under the robes and inside the hood. Most visible on the back, I also used it for those branching “crack” like details. The base is also Black 4.0, but I took the picture under a REALLY bright light (and in the first image you can see the spots where I was too impatient to wait for the base to fully dry lol.) Under regular lighting the black is incredibly flat and the underside of the robes really does disappear.
The lanterns are painted silver with a black wash. For the glowing part of the lantern, I started with a bright white base, then layered the blue glow in the dark pigment, then a clear gloss over it.
I loved working on that piece, even though I often felt like screaming trying to get the right angles to paint one part and not fuck up something else lol.
The SRGB color range isn’t even close to bright enough to display how pink this color is, in case anyone’s like “that’s just pink”
How does one see it in person?

I was just thinking, I wonder how these would look used on minis. Do you have any photos to share using these pigments?

Unfortunately I haven’t used any image hosting sites in years, so I did this quick. I’m open to recommendations!
That’s pretty interesting in the different lights. What colors did you use here?

It’s The Watcher from Kingdom Death Monster.
Ooh, that’s cool as hell! You’re really good at that. I’m jealous, haha. Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
Perfect pink? Don’t think I’ve ever been sold on something so effortlessly quick
From experience, you walk into the barbie isle in Walmart.
I dunno. The Tom Scott video said it’s like doubling the jump from grey to the color you see.
I suspect Stuart would be able to assist you: https://stuartsemple.com/project/worlds-pinkest-pink-50g-powdered-paint-stuart-semple/
Does anyone have an HDR photo?
HDR isn’t enough. Or at least anything a TV can display.
You can probably find light wave analysis or something though.
