What colors would you use for pinkish red with
el rango tonal (alizarin crimson)? (It is that I have tried to make tests but I cannot do it correctly) , like (alizarin crimson) tonal range.
i have citadel and vallejo but can buy other if is neccesary
Sidenote, want to make sure not to miss-communicate -----------------------
alizarin crimson - is a color, It is a cold hue of red.
Tonal range means gradient from light to dark.
When I say (alizarin crimson tonal range), I mean - Various lighter and darker variations of alizarin crimson color.

You shouldn't need to buy anything extra unless you want to for convenience.
I use (alizarin crimson) name because I do not know citadel and vallejo paint names for the same color.
The color I was thinking of is cold red, in the picture there is a tonal range from lighter to darker of same color, and temperature range from warmer to colder.
You can adjust the temperature of your basic standard red color by mixing blues and purples into it or yellows and oranges, or applying thin colored wash later to achieve similar temperature adjustment.
I think cold red will look better than warm red.
Think of Red lightsaber and not Red hot metal.
tried to find some examples: Here are two different red glow effects, a warmer red that goes into orange yellow and white, and colder red that goes into purples pinks and white.
