I have been made aware that I should clarify the statement I made in the video. To elaborate, I was merely trying to shine light on a matter most of us are interested in: product information, by presenting the findings I discovered and the speculation I arrived at, which is my own opinion/speculation and is not to be misconstrued as proven facts at this time. I was made aware that my wording may have come across as such which I wanted to clear up with this comment. As already stated in the video, I will still be buying Shinhan products.

I’ve heard that pigments that are fillers don’t have to be listed. So manganese blue hue has white in it and it is not listed as one of the pigments. I don’t know if that might be the reason why they don’t always list all pigments. I think before social media, few people looked for the pigments and instead looked for a hue. So manufactures are probably more focused on achieving a hue rather than getting a pigment that could be to expensive and difficult to sell if not diluted with another pigment.

I think the N/A refers the the ASTM rating of the Pigment. You can see with other colors there is always a roman number 1, 2 or N/A after each pigment. N/A often means not aplicable or no information. So those particular oigment variations that they use were not rated by ASTM Standards. It is weird that some colors look very different. Could it be the treatment of the pigment or binder differences? Sometimes cheaper binders are very yellow in color and give the pigment a slight tint.

I think this should be the same with Daniel Smiths Primatek colors, as we know already that the colors are not possible to get just from gems. And it could be helpful to know all the pigments, in case someone would deliberately avoid a certain pigment! Companies should never lie or hide this kind of information such as correct pigment info!

The paints work beautifully, and the prices are ridiculously low especially when purchased as a set.

Hi, Vee! Thank you very much for this video. While I'm disappointed that my go-to phthalo turquoise paint has been multi-pigmented all along, this video has given me a sense of vindication when it comes to the other colours from ShinHan like their Permanent Red and Cobalt Blue Hue. It doesn't seem like it was stated on the SWC chart too, but ShinHan's Pyrrole Red does have a neon dye added to it! I'm glad their Quinacridone Red seems to be truly single pigment since they're my go-to rose. As for the Greenish Yellow, the NA could be PY128 which is listed on Prima's Art Philosophy Greenish Yellow (which are relabelled ShinHan paints).

I got more than 70 tubes from PWC, because at the time I felt they were great value for their single pigment artist paints they were claiming to be, and now knowing that I can't use many of these colors for commissioned/serious works, I feel cheated. why do they need to add such cheap and fugitive pigments to usual colors (PY83 for Burnt Sienna!?, PY74 for Raw Sienna!) and then lie about it ? I had almost similar story with Cobalt torquise from Mission Gold, the one in their pure pigment claims to be single pigment PB28 and the one I bought online with the same color code , same color name from the same store that I got the set from, had "PW6" and "PY3" also mixed in it.

That aside, I realized that it’s not just ShinHan doing this. It’s a lot of brands that are sometimes very sneaky (or just negligent) with disclosing their colour pigments. A lot of fellow WC enthusiasts I know who are new to watercolours and are exploring different brands, buys watercolours based on the names expecting them to be similar. It’s a mistake that I’ve made when I was new as well. Being more knowledgeable about pigments now, I cross-check a few websites before making my final purchase.

Wow!! I love this sleuthing! By coincidence, I just recently watched your older PWC dotcard video, sometime in the last couple weeks. I already wasn't impressed with some of the pigment choices because there are so many fugitive ones, and I wondered why people rave so much about the brand. And YES, there were many colors where the pigments said N/A and/or were clearly wrong or something just seemed off. Like the PR209, I remember you calling that one out specifically! Another thing I notice is that in the brand swatches you show on screen, the hues look clearly different for the same colors. It seems to be an entirely different set of swatches for the two markets. The one thing I missed in this video was, does the Shinhan Marine Blue match the Holbein Marine Blue? Holbein wasn't on the set of swatched you showed in this video. I'll have to go watch your PB16 Alternatives video again LOL. I'm still sitting on the Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 set I got, wondering whether to return it, because pretty much every red uses that PR 48:1!! I'm so torn, because I want to try it for etegami, but so many of the yellow, orange and red pigments are not so great.

haha~ coincidence indeed! - swatch pics: ah, i wouldn't knock them on the swatches because they've come out with various colour charts with different swatch pics throughout the years. lol, i just came from replying to your comment about no holbein pb16 swatch. but yes, the PWC marine blue matches the holbein marine blue. sorry again!

I think the N/A must mean anything else, because shadow green is also N/A in your dotcard and is just pbk31 both pwc and swc. Other colors on your dot card have this I or II symbol in front of some pigment codes, maybe the N/A could be related to it somehow. I really wanted the companies being as transparent as possible though. That said, really nice video 😄

Someone whose job it was to label the PWC didn't have information at the time of production and release? There are two, not one. And maybe a way to tell would be to do chromatography on filter paper with some solvent to see if you can separate two pigments. Not feeling good about bad information. If you are worried about archival quality or you prefer mixing with single pigment, then this is not acceptable. Shame as they are beautiful colors. For many, this will be a non issue: and the paints otherwise are well made but for some, this is going to be an issue.
@PaintinHiding 2 ай бұрын
that’s very true. personally i dont mind because i dont care about lightfastness but i can definitely see some people veerying away because of some added pigments might make the colour they like, less lightfast.
@nancyloomis3046 2 ай бұрын
Oh my...this all leaves me a bit confused. And I don't have any Shinhan wcs.. So while I do pay attention to the pigments used in my watercolors, I tend to trust the brands, especially when it's well-known primary colors & common colors or unless I find something's off. But I do carefully check some of the more exotic or not known to me colors. I'm sure there's a lot of "switcho-change-o" that goes on in the pigments used in artist paints. I think for watercolorists, in particular, we tend to be almost obsessed with pigments because of the nature of watercolor on paper...the color, transparency and texture along with the paper used can make or break your work. I see few discussions in oils or acrylics on the fine points of the pigments used. I paint some in oils and less in acrylics and never see videos about pigments used in the paints. Thanks for all your research here. It was really interesting 😊

I even purchased DanSmith’s 250+ dot samples and I was talked into buying 30 colors after I was not impressed by the samples. I was just so unhappy that I was taught by my Gran with Grumbacher watercolor paints and they were no longer available in my local shop nor a good selection online!

I wonder why the color numbers are different, if swc/pwc is just a branding change? I think they’re different paints/recipes. If I like the color and I like the paint, I don’t think I really care. Companies will always have their proprietary recipes. Even the Daniel Smith thing didn’t bother me, because they’re not technically lying if there’s a percentage of that mineral in the paint. The recipes are proprietary, patented, and belong to them. I think “lying” is a dramatic interpretation of what they’re really doing. But that’s just my opinion.
