I just fell in love with Messy Color's Sangre. It's a pure red, nice and bright!

I loe the regular Moretti striking red. Never had any problems with it and it looks like red hard candy when it comes out of the kiln.

For opaque color, I like Moretti purple red. For transparent, I like CIM Bordello.

I love Candy Apple and Bordello, but I think they're too dark.

Has Moretti striking red gotten stable again? For a while there it seemed like every batch either struck unevenly or came up this nasty not-quite-ripe tomato color instead of a true red.

For a transparent, I love Lauscha's red. Not only is the color gorgeous but it can be worked hard without losing color.

I don't have any problems with it, have you tried restriking it once the colour went out?
