Carole, this is interesting and I wonder if you would be able to talk
more about your research with us, especially about the reds. Which
reds in which brands, for instance, did you find impermanent? Is
this true with oil based inks also? I have read that the alizarin hues
are fugitive but not the cadmiums? Anything you can share will be
appreciated.

Hello all,
For those who are still confused about which pigments are lightfast (and
how to know this), an excellent reference on the subject is Michael
Wilcox's _The Artist's Guide to Selecting Colors_; ISBN: 0958789185;
US$24.99. Well worth the price, in my opinion.
The book is still in print and discusses pigments found in all the usual
artist's media. This reference makes it very easy to recognize pigments by
their colour names and colour numbers, regardless of brand, or fancy
marketing colour names given to products by the manufacturers.
Take care,
Randi
