Yes, Daniel Smith is the only manufacturer still using PO 49; the
last of other lines ran out in 2005. So if other brands are still
selling paint called "quinacridone gold" or intending to substitute
for quinacridone gold, it's a mixture of pigments, most often nickel
azo (PY 150) with a red pigment.

Thank you for the information on quinacridone gold. I used to get
it from Golden, for painting in acrylics, and loved the way it
mixed with other colors. Then the formula changed, the name became
Q. gold nickel azo... and it didn't mix the same at all. It was a
huge disappointment. Last year I found the Daniel Smith Q. gold
watercolor and acrylic paints and have bought several tubes of
each. Maybe I'd better buy some more...

Actually, PO 49 (quinacridone gold) hasn't been manufactured since
2001. Daniel Smith bought up a lot of the available supply at
that time; I was told then that there was enough to make paint
into the foreseeable future; the person I talked to said "Don't
worry, we've got plenty." I haven't checked back since to see how
their supply is holding out. But don't buy it, because Keith and
I want it all.

I love Daniel Smith quinacridone gold. While I use 3 blues and 8
or so reds, the only yellow I use is the Quin Gold. Very
transparent. Warm, and not garish.
Don't buy it though. Rumor has it that the pigment was created
for the automotive industry (that gold PT Cruiser!) and that it
won't be made anymore. So I want it all for myself!
