Substitute for Liquitex Lgt. Blue Violet oil paint?

There are some old Liquitex oil colors for which I am in desperate need of a substitute, since Liquitex no longer produces oils. My primary need is for an equivalent to their Light Blue Violet (which they still offer in acrylics only). Any suggestions?

1. Hi! Maybe this will help you.

Because the color has "violet" in its name, I looked around for ultramarine tones in my paint box, and used color charts to put together this comparison that might help you. (I think you're looking for something in the "royal" blue or "king's" blue range.)

Your time and effort are really appreciated. I believe Daniel Smith's Lt. Blue Violet comes closest to the old Liquitex color I miss so much.

:hi:

3. More than welcome, dear.

(And once again, I'm reminded that I owe you a CARE package of Swiss chocolate. :pals: )
