Passionate Pink

Passionate Pink

A bold pink from the numbered palette of the Number Five brand, which its creator characterizes as an intense pink tone with a strongly saturated pigment, so it is a color built at full strength and not the lightened pastel that most modelers picture under a pink.

When to reach for such a color

Pink belongs in the motoring environment among the rare colors, and that is exactly why nobody forgets the cars that wore it. The most famous example is the Porsche 917/20 car from Le Mans of 1971, nicknamed after its pink body with a butcher's cutting diagram marked out on it. Besides such curiosities, a saturated pink appears on show and modified cars, on modern sponsor liveries and everywhere a model is deliberately meant to stand out from the row. With figures and accessories it will serve as a tone that cannot be mixed well enough from an ordinary palette.

Where you will put the pink to use

• show and modified cars with a conspicuous body
• modern liveries built on a saturated pink tone
• details where the color is meant to seize attention at once
• figures, accessories and scenic elements for dioramas

Whom the pink will serve

It will serve those who build something deliberately impossible to overlook, and those who have given up on mixing saturated pinks. The saturated pigment is at the same time the reason why it pays to work with the color deliberately and to watch the transitions onto neighboring surfaces.

Storage: close the container immediately after use and protect it from direct sunlight.
