DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors – classic watercolors of unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was two fold;
DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist’s paints, and every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.
Daniel Smith Watercolor Ultramarine Blue 15m Tube – Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like color or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals.
Ultramarine Blue and French Ultramarine both contain pigment PB29, but Ultramarine has a smaller pigment particle size and is slightly greener and cooler than French Ultramarine, which has a larger pigment particle size and is slightly redder and warmer.

Really great cool blue
Love this cool blue … great for mixing. Transparent and non-granulating. Only issue I have is that if you use it to make a travel watercolor set, then this color dries up really hard. I don’t mind as it rewets pretty easily.
