I've had good results with Winsor Newton Permanent Rose 1g/10ml gum and
BlockX Yellow 1g/50ml. Both are powdered pigments and should be available
at an art supply store. Different brands of powder pigment and watercolor
tube paint can vary considerably in strength and quality. You might want to
buy a selection and experiment, to find the pigments best suited to your
needs.
