Red
Pat, I think what you're hinting at is the trick. I use at least those colors in every red apple. The cadmiums keep the light parts from becoming too pink (as they are nearly orange) Drop the white or yellow ochre or whatever, as fast as you can, as you turn into the halftones and rich deep color. The color will soon lose intensity as it rolls into the shadows (and your alizarin crimson). Apples all have different features and types which are nice challenges and a good place to practice capturing those hardest of things.
These reds were some funky shaped, very round and expensive type.
