"Auburn seems to make Opal Yellow curdle . . .  where I've used Opal Yellow over Auburn, Opal Yellow has developed brownish orange rings around itself, which has to be my favourite reaction out of this bunch." Read more at Melanie's blog.

"Valentine is a dark red, and Auburn a dark reddish brown. Both are opaque. They are less similar in colour than they appear here: the Auburn is definitely browner." Read more at Heather's blog.

"Opaque red has a tendency to be unhappy about being encased. . . . And here it is, Auburn encased. It is a little streaky - but no issues with cracking, and looks fine." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"Auburn is a very dense red - that will mostly read as an opaque - a little redder when worked than the unworked rod, and looks brown in cool light." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"Auburn [outer circle] is a gorgeous very dark purple-red. It is almost the same hue and shade value as Effetre Brown Dark Red [inner circle], but is slightly cooler in color. It is a dense opaque that doesn’t transmit light."
