To enhance the clarity and depth of color, single-pigments have been used whenever possible and the usage of mixed pigments has been limited. Using single-pigments, water colors are less prone to fading and the consistency of colors are improved. PWC offers exceptional clarity and transparency that artists desire, along with superior lightfastness to resist fading. PWC is ideal for spread techniques and color overlapping, bringing out the best in water color paper. The color palette offers a total of 84 colors that are transparent and subtle, yet intense and vibrant, allowing for an even greater freedom of expression. 84 very pure and exuberant colors Carefully selected, fine pigments High-grade gum Arabic vehicle Highest degree of lightfastness Maximum degree of transparency To the best information I could find, the PWC is not necessary the Korean Colors line. I'd love to try those as well in the future, because I love the color palette of traditional Chinese watercolors, and really love the Japanese Holbein Irodori color selection, and prefer muted, softer colors. Swatching: Mixing set: Really nice, intense color, reminiscent of the Mijello watercolor in terms of quality. Maybe more opaque than the Mijello VERY fine granulation. So the colors you'd THINK would be more opaque (the ones similar to the traditional palette, and similar to those commonly found in Chinese and Japanese watercolors) are definitely more opaque, but not all the colors are like this. So far, I find these handle very well, and ofer some lovely colors. I'm going to allow these to fully dry, then do a lift test. While these dry, I'm going to put them into half pans and come back and do a half pan reactivation test later.
