Quinacridone.
A family of widely used synthetic pigments with a deep red to violet color range. This opening Petunia flower is reminiscent of some quinacridone shades.
Q is for Quinacridone
Wow, that is gorgeous! And quinacridone is a new colour family for me.
Ooooh, good one!
The picture is absolutely astounding.
The word is unpronounceable without hearing it, at least for me.

Gorgeous. The light is amazing and so is the flower. And, best of all I learned a new color. At my age that’s pretty cool.
Thanks! I also didn’t know about quinacridone pigments prior to this. The only other option I could find for Q was “queen blue”, but I didn’t think that was as appropriate. “Queen” is not a color and blue doesn’t start with Q. And I thought quinacridone was much more interesting anyway. :)
I came up guessing with “quince”, but I think it’s more fruit that colour. :D
The metallic sheen is nice with the quinacridone violet.
English (along with French and Italian) at least has some common q-words, but there are some languages that have almost no words beginning with q.
