What color oil paint is closest to hot pink?

I'm looking for a really hot pink color oil paint. I know its hard to mix, but I'm willing to buy more paint. Does hot pink oil paint exist? And if so what is it called. I have a Dick Blick nearby, so anything sold there would be excellent.What color oil paint is closest to hot pink?
Look at these paints


First quite expensive, hard to source, Michael Harding's Brilliant Pink

Or Cheaper easier to find Lukas Studio Oil Paint Magenta (Primary) Sometimes just called Primary Red. Mix this with an expensive artist quality Titanium white, a little white at a time. You can also try adding a little bright lemon type cadmium yellow, if you can find a very bright tone this can lift your mix a little. If you cannot find a good enough quality of yellow it'll just make the mix orange. When mixing this up err on the side of caution, as you can waste alot of colour with this sort of mixing.

You'll increase the impact of this by painting over the most brilliant white base you can. I'd suggest two thinnish coatsWhat color oil paint is closest to hot pink?
You can indeed buy florescent oil colors, but they are difficult to find. Quinacrodone red and titanium white make a pretty good hot pink, though it is very light. You can exaggerate this effect by toning down the colors in the rest of your painting which will make the hot pink look brighter by comparison.





As always, the best way to figure out what works in painting is just to experiment. Good luck!

Alizarin Crimson and White make a very nice hot pink.
They don't sell hot pink in oil colors you will have to mix it your self
the paint has to be custom made
