## Description

DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors - classic watercolors of unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold​; · First and foremost, to produce watercolors that are the best in lightfastness and permanence. · Second, to offer a selection of truly unique colors. 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 is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists with 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolors, the most of any manufacturer​. Many are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, and there are many “truly unique” colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists. PrimaTek Watercolors are made from minerals, often semi precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder) and milled into PrimaTek Watercolors​. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, since then, many more have been added such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colors have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called “magical”. Luminescent Watercolors have special optical effects perfect for subjects that have a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow​ like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colors without the cadmium pigment​. Virtually identical in color to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints. The working properties – staining power, semi-transparency and excellent lightfastness – are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured. Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH​ like Cascade Green, Green Gold and Moonglow. DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide to provide more choices for artists. Other colors are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, colors like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world​, from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists because of the beautiful colors, consistent performance and lasting color or lightfastness. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are packed with high quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder – no fillers.​ For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that maximize the qualities inherent in the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content. DANIEL SMITH offers many ways to experience their Watercolors as well as providing extra creative means for artists with their Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid and Walnut Ink. · 15ml Watercolors​, available in more than 240 colors, the most of any manufacturer. · 5ml Watercolors​, available in 88 of the most popular colors DANIEL SMITH makes. · Watercolor Sticks​, 51 popular DANIEL SMITH Watercolors shaped into stick form to draw and paint with, a new way to expressively use watercolors. · Watercolor Dot Cards, ​a great way to try DANIEL SMITH Watercolors without buying whole tubes of paint. These are dots of pure DANIEL SMITH Watercolors that reactivate into paint with the touch of a wet brush, allowing artists to easily and cost effectively, try many colors. Two sizes: 238 Dot Card to try nearly the entire line of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and the 66 Dot Card to try many DANIEL SMITH Watercolors. · PrimaTek Watercolors, ​37 PrimaTek Watercolors, made from minerals, many semi-precious, that are ground into pigments and made into unique watercolors. · Luminescent Watercolors, ​48 Luminescent Watercolors with optical effects. · Watercolor Sets​: Essentials Set, PrimaTek Set, Alvaro Castagnet’s Master Set, Primary and Secondary Sets. · Watercolor Ground​, Paint watercolors on any surface when prepared with DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Ground, available in 4 colors; Titanium White, Buff Titanium, Mars Black and Transparent. Watercolor Ground can help “rescue” a watercolor painting when applied over a mistake, giving an artist a second chance with a new surface to paint on. When you choose DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and other DANIEL SMITH products, you are choosing the best materials to create with. DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington for artists worldwide.

Review: Lovely texture and color - This is such a fun color. I have really been enjoying my experiments with it! Daniel Smith makes some of the highest quality and most unique shades of watercolor on the market. With each one being fairly inexpensive, it is so hard not to go nuts and buy them all!
Review: Beautiful pigment - I love this color. It's like a dusky velvety purplish grey. I use it a lot for outer space behind a moon. It is good quality and easy to blend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I want just the three primary colors, which blue should I choose?**
A: Why limit your self to one specific blue? My suggestion would be to buy the Daniel Smith's full range of colors dot sample card. That way you can play and experiment with every shade of the primaries. so it will be exactly what you want for your exact needs. You can ask 1000 artists this question and you are gonna get a 1000 different answers. The dot sample card will allow you to figure it out for your self. As a full time professional artist ive learned the only way to find exactly what i want or need is to explore, play and experiment for my self.  Learning to stop using other artists pallets and color choices will open you up as a better artist.

**Q: Is daniel smith titanium white watercolor or gouache?**
A: Daniel Smith Titanium white is watercolor paint.  If it was gouache it would be clearly labeled as Gouache on the tube.  To test this my instructor would recommend painting a 1/2 inch wide 3 inch long strip of India Ink.  Let the ink thoroughly dry.  Paint a stripe of the Titanium white paint in the saturation you normally use.  The watercolor paint will be somewhat translucent.  The gouache will be opaque. You have proved your answer.

**Q: I want to see all colors of Daniel Smith watercolors. Is this possible?**
A: Well I bought the dot cards by Daniel Smith. There’s over 200+ colors!! This item is a dot of each paint they sell. So all you do is touch some water on each dot and you can test it out right beside each sample. Plus there’ enough  left of each one to do some smaller paintings.

**Q: Is Daniel Smith’s Jadeite a single pigment watercolor?**
A: Up for debate according to some online.  It's from their Primatek line and is supposed to be from 2 minerals.   However there has been a recent "scandal" that some of these mineral paints have added  (undisclosed) pigment to enhance their appearance.  Don't know if it's true or not.  So it all depends on how pure you want your paint to be.   And if you are painting for yourself or selling these professionally you might want to dig for more information online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely texture and color
*by L***A on December 25, 2025*

This is such a fun color. I have really been enjoying my experiments with it! Daniel Smith makes some of the highest quality and most unique shades of watercolor on the market. With each one being fairly inexpensive, it is so hard not to go nuts and buy them all!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful pigment
*by C***B on November 5, 2025*

I love this color. It's like a dusky velvety purplish grey. I use it a lot for outer space behind a moon. It is good quality and easy to blend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile! Gorgeous Texture! The Palette Staple I Didn't Know I Needed!
*by K***R on October 3, 2025*

Exciting, Versatile, Silky Smooth... A palette staple, and I had no idea just how much it was needed. This subtle, seemingly dull shade actually works seamlessly to makes bright pigments more delicate. Add more than a bit, and you'll get a creamy, more gouache-like consistency. It provides endless color and texture possibilities. Florals and Botanicals, portraits, landscapes, architecture... It's endless! The combination of Buff Titanium with Quinacridone Rose is just stunning. Combine with strong, transparent yellows and/or neutrals... Gorgeous mixed - and convenience - greens... Thanks to it's versatility, I'd recommend (if you're able) investing a bit more. The 5ml tube is much too small! But, it goes without saying that whether hobbyist or pro, the contents of any 5ml tube is too pricey if you paint large scale, and/or a regular basis. This small tube won't last long. It's absolute perfection for my florals! I'm looking forward to trying with the super granulating effects of subtle Potter's Pink!
