The Pigment Disappointment

I am trying not to be too negative today, but the pinks and purples I have available are not doing the job. If you could see how the reference photo looks on my screen, you'd know what I mean; those colors are bright and hot, hot, hot; and all I'm getting out of the tube paints is dull, greyed-down hues. I'm going to have to look at different manufacturers from the ones I normally use and see if anybody has something more like neon.

All of the work on this one today has been on the light tower, the bottles, and the stacked-upside-down tumblers on the right side.
