[Aquanet] mistake on the tube

[pat davis]

Hi, Lorraine and all

When I see a new paint recommended I go to Handprint's ratings which, 
altho not prefect, do give a lot of useful information. PY-3 can be a 
problematic pigment with fading and colour shift but Rowney's 
formulation appears stable; PY-65 looks solid for sure. Should be a good 
mixture.

Anyone have any different takes on this?

(Aside- Jack Russell, please contact me off-line.)
