Some Product Changes at GOLDEN
As we move toward the 2012 price changes, there are a few color changes that you need to be aware of. Please contact GOLDEN Customer Service regarding shelf tags for the new colors detailed below.
| GD12504 | 2012 New Color 2 & 5 oz Rack Tags (Teal and OPEN Titan Green Pale) |
| GD12505 | 2012 New Color Fluid & All Shelf Tags (Teal and OPEN Titan Green Pale) |
• Acrylic Glaze Colors- The biggest change for 2012 is to the Glaze Category, which will be discontinued effective February 13, 2012. Therefore, it is important for you to evaluate your current inventory and place your last order for these products if necessary. They are available while supplies last. These colors are all convenience mixes, derived from standard Golden Fluid Acrylic colors combined with Acrylic Glazing Liquid, the recipes for the Glaze colors will be published online mid-February for those consumers that would like to continue achieving these mixtures.
• Cobalt Teal Replaced with Teal- Due to the pigment being discontinued by the manufacturer, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. has found it necessary to discontinue the existing Cobalt Teal across all color lines.
We recognize that this is a very valuable color for many artists and for that reason we worked diligently to find an alternate source of pigment, but were unable to find one that would give us the clean color artists love. As a result, we felt it was important to retain and replicate the color space as closely as possible. After several trials, we landed on a blend that will be called Teal. This new color Teal is a very close match to the existing Cobalt Teal in the masstone and is a bit stronger as a tint.
While losing the original Cobalt Teal will be disappointing for many, we feel that the new Teal will serve most artists quite well and as a side benefit, it will be a less expensive Series 3 color. The new Teal will start being available in art stores sometime in February or March. Get some more info on Cobalt Teal at this link: Cobalt Teal
• New OPEN Titan Green Pale- Beginning February 13, 2012, we will be introducing a brand new color exclusive to the OPEN line called Titan Green Pale, a cool cousin to the warm neutral of Titan Buff. Get some more info on Titan Green Pale at this link: Titan Green Pale
• OPEN Cobalt Titanate Green Discontinued- As you will recall from late 2010, due to pigment constraints we discontinued Cobalt Titanate Green in all color lines except for OPEN, reserving what remained for the OPEN Acrylic line. As of February 13, 2012, OPEN Cobalt Titanate Green will be discontinued as well. Click here for more information: Color Change Info
