Pr122 magenta tends to be less lightfast than pv19 rose and pr202 magenta (which is muted) and PR209 red (which is saturated and redder). Pr179 perylene maroon is a very deep red as well that pairs nicely with quinacridone rose (per water colorist Jane Blundell) to mix a crimson. It also makes a nice burnt scarlet with warmer reds. There’s also pyrrol rubine/crimson pr264 (which is slightly duller than alizarin but a very close match). I usually search “oil Blick” and the pigment code and if Blick has a match, you can check pigment info.
Fun fact: Alizarin or the Cochineal Lake it is based on (even worse lightfastness), is reasonably permanent when used as a glaze of pure color, and subjected to museum-like conditions. This is demonstrated by the unfaded Cochineal Lake glazes in Centuries old Van Eyck paintings.
Great video thank you! I am also looking for a AC replacement. Still looking, but leaning towards PV19 too. Looks like a good alternative. Like mention in a comment below, there is ways to use AC in a permanent way, it seems. But for color mixing, like you show here, yeah PV19 seems a good one. I am having a look at PR177-Anthraquinone Red, Gamblin produce Permanent Crimson with it. I was looking also at Rembrandt's PR176-Benzimidazolone Carmine or their Permanent Madder Deep PR264-Pyrrole Rubine. I just tried Rembrandt Permanent Madder Brown, but this one is on the warm side. I keep looking. But thanks again for your video, very informative
Thank you. Whatever pigment you look for be sure check the permanence level from various sources. Just like Alizarin Crimson many modern pigments also fail at permanence test.

Strange! Van Gogh's Carmine in the bedroom painting completely vanished!
