[Aquanet] Complimentary Color?

[Barry D. Lindley]

Hi, Carol-

I've been away from home and didn't get all the followup to your request, so
perhaps you already have your answer.

According to Handprint, Cobalt Teal Blue (Daniel Smith) or Cobalt Turquoise
Light (W&N), both PG50, is a good mixing complement for PR255.  The plain
Cobalt Turquoise from W&N is much duller.  M.Graham's Cobalt Teal is a
different pigment, a little bluer, but it might work.

I don't have any PR255, but a quick test with PR254 (Winsor R) and CTB looks
OK - a nice variety of textural neutrals;  You can't get a really deep value
neutral, but otherwise, rather pleasing.

Do any of you know the exact complimentary color of PR 255,  Dan 
Smith's Pyrrol Scarlet.  I am using PB36, Dan Smith's Cerulean 
blue.  It just drys too dull for what I'm working on.  (Nita & Barry, 
are you out there?)
