Looking for some bright colors
Hello! I am looking for bright pinks and purples in the same COE as moretti. Moretti has some wonderful colors but just not enough in the way of pinks and purples. I just ordered 4, 1/4lb of some nice purple shades of a new brand called ASK 104 from an e-bay seller. Is there anywhere else that I should look to find the colors that I want?

The million dollar question. They are hard to find. I've found the best bright pink to be a Reichenbach (96COE) called Purple (oddly enough). They also have a bright purple - can't remember the name.
You can try the Purple 254 in Moretti - sometimes it's pink, sometimes it's purple, sometimes it's crap - but pretty.
Bullesye also has a nice bright pink (90COE).

Oh, there are lots of pinks - they are just all pale pink. I want opaque bright Fuschia pink. The R purple is the closest I have found. I'm going to start experimenting with boro now that I have finally mastered encasing (after 7 years LOL).

Lauscha has a couple of nice purples. I like the transparent purple and the opaque version being called "Hawaiian Purple."

Oh, yes, those go without saying.

But be careful with the lauscha opaque--AKDesigns just lost a whole set with that it doesn't always play well with other glass .
lauscha lady has some lovely pinks tho...(again, compatibility *may* be an issue, one never knows for sure with lauscha colors--they can/may be off a few points)
Rubino pink (moretti/effetre) is pretty if you put it over white--Suzanne & Kandice do lovely things with it...

I suggest being careful with the messy as well. It evidently doesn't like all the moretti colors. EVERY single thing I did with the messy celedon and moretti gray has checked. and it was such a pretty combo.

Really? I've never had a problem with the opaques. I've heard the cobalt transparent cracks when encased.
Which opaques?
