I have to give the nod to Quin Violet for its glazing, transparency and because it mixes better with cooler colors. I so appreciate the methodical way in which you go about testing pigments. It really helped me to make the best choice for my palette.
I miss watching the paint go on the page. I hope that's not gone for good!!! Thanks for all the videos in the series so far. I absolutely love the scientific precision with which you compare.
So hard to choose between the two, but with smaller palettes there's really no need for both! I think I would pick the quin violet, for the violets it mixes :) Thanks for the thorough comparison!
Ahhhh thank you Oto! I've been wondering about Bordeaux comparisons for threeeee years. This was helpful. I do like the hue of the Bordeaux more on it's own, but I mix more purple's and greens than I do oranges so I'd probably be wise to go with the violet instead, though neither is on my main palette at the moment!
Oh hey, I wouldn’t have thought to compare these two! I use bourdeux all the time since it was one of the first like....20 colors I bought all at once when I decided to dive head first into Daniel Smith. =>.
I happen to own both (I didn't realise they were so similar at the time), and I prefer the transparancy and glazing with Quin Violet. Makes it more versatile for my purposes. I also prefer Quin Violet for mixing - the Bordeaux feels more like a colour to be used on its own.
Took me forever to watch this video. I have Bordeaux because that's what was available in the selection that I bought, and I love it. And even after seeing how the Quin Violet mixes with the cooler colours, I still liked the colours that the Bordeaux mixed better and that's how I've been using it, with cooler colours. I think unless I desperately needed to mix some cleaner colours for a commission, I wouldn't worry about buying the Quin Violet.
Thanks for another awesome comparison! I love this series so much. I love the quin. violet, but the Schmincke one is more pinkish, the bordeaux on the other hand I don't have, but it's beautiful. It's so rich and reminds me of royal cloaks used centuries ago.
That was a great comparison - I think I like the Bourdeux I never thought of getting that color before. I don't have Quin Violet either, I do have 2 other PV19 colors. I find it so interesting that the same pigment can look so different - I have Schmenke Ruby Red and Daniel Smith Quin Rose... I recently purchased Daniel Smith Naphthamide Maroon PR171. Talk about addicted, now I need to add Bourdeaux! lol... Thank you for your videos.
Thank you again for this series! Love it! I have Quin Violet, but now I may have to consider the Bordeaux....hmmm! So many fun colors...I think I’m a bit addicted! 😁🤣
On my screen your samples look red leaning toward rose. I have swatched these colors today and they are both clearly a warm violet, not red at all. What am I doing wrong?
My recent purchase of Bordeaux was underwhelming... I tried to use it on Arches paper and it was so dull.... I tried to build it up... still dries very dull... I finally got angry and literally placed color on paper straight from tube - thick. those parts are bright and the moment it hits even a little water - it dulls.... I do not see the same in your test - which makes me wonder if this is my paper or just a bad batch from Daniel Smith.... was so hopeful for this color and so disappointed....
are you using bottled water? i have to where we live & it makes a big difference but i do not (yet) have bordeaux so i cannot say for sure that i would with that as well.
My DS Quin Violet looks nothing like yours. Mine is more mauve/purplish looking. Yours look far more on the red side. Very strange. They look like two totally different colours.
So happy that you pointed out the Bordeaux/Ultramrine Blue mix. I'm loving it, too.

Same. :(

You are so welcome! I agree, you don't need both for most palettes :)

So glad this cleared it all up for you :D For what you use it for, the quin violet sounds like the better choice for you.

Me too. Bordeaux kinda stole my heart when I saw it. So now I've ended up with both on my palette!
I love the mixes with the ultramarine blue -they're amazing!
Me too, they were really beautiful!

I need both. I love the mixes they both make. I am thinking I should make a warm and cool pallet

I know what you mean Amy. Bordeaux just has this presence that the Quin Violet lacks.
What an amazing video and comparison. WOW! Thank you so much for this video!!
Love your videos! I love Bordeaux it is one of my top top favorite colors. Now I also need Quin Violet!!
This information was very useful, and I feel like I learned something about mixing cool versus mixing warm colors. Thank you.
For color pallet for my art I would lean towards the Bordeaux though I currently don’t have either of these colors in my pallet yet
Wonderful comparison of the two hues. I prefer the Bordeaux.
good choice!!

Yes! It's exactly that. Rich, expensive, sumptuous color.

lol so glad this video opened you up to Bordeaux. It's such a gorgeous color :D
4 minutes and I clicked so fast!! I so look forward to these!! And turns out I was first comment which never happens; even sweeter!
lmao you were so fast! Thank you for watching the video :D
simply from the light fast view the quin violet but i am attracted to the shimmer look of the bordeaux mix with the perm. green.... TFS
The bordeaux is hard to ignore! :)
Could you do a comparison between Pérylene violet Daniel Smith and Pérylene violet in Winsor and Newton? I can’t make up my mind
Could you please do Burnt Umber vs. Transparent Brown Oxide ?
Thank you again for this series! Love it! I have Quin Violet, but now I may have to consider the Bordeaux....hmmm! So many fun colors...I think I’m a bit addicted! 😁🤣
Warning, Bordeaux has a tendency to steal people's hearts when they see it! 😂
😂🤣 I can totally see that! Sooo pretty!🤣😁
I love quin violet! There is such a richness and depth to it.
Great choice!
Bordeaux + Oto PB29 😍😍😍 thanks for the review!
you're very welcome :D
Oh, that Bordeaux is pretty! Never seen it before 😊
Bordeaux is soooooo lovely. I always enjoy painting with it. Hope you give it a go.
I would get Bordeaux!
On my screen your samples look red leaning toward rose. I have swatched these colors today and they are both clearly a warm violet, not red at all. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the comparison.
You are so welcome :D Thanks for watching!
Nearly impossible choice, but I thinks its Quin Violet! Angela Mills.
Quin violet would be my pick at this time. But who knows in six months.
Will you do the Quin Gold vs Quin Gold Deep?
Or a new Quin Gold vs old Quin Gold.
Bordeaux only comes in the 15 ml. I wonder why...
My recent purchase of Bordeaux was underwhelming... I tried to use it on Arches paper and it was so dull.... I tried to build it up... still dries very dull...

@@crystalinedreams6039 I have very bad water too.. For this reason, I use distilled water for my mixes
Both.

You are right! Not much difference.
Glad you agree! :)
