This is their current offering for the 18thc set:<br /><br />Lazurite<br />Prussian Blue<br />Verona Green Earth<br />Antica Green Earth<br />Lemon Ocher<br />Cobalt Yellow (Aureolin)<br />Indian Red<br />Vermilion<br />French Burnt Sienna<br />Cyprus Umber Medium<br />Italian Burnt Umber<br />Bone Black<br /><br />How does this current palette figure on the colour spectrum, in terms of your previous two diagrams, Laura? I ask because I am very interested in buying this set and would like to have an informed opinion (yours!) :-)<br /><br />I downloaded one of their digital catalogs and wanted to buy this palette, but when I went to their web site last week, I also noticed that the heavyweight tin had been replaced with what looks like a lightweight tin (both of which look similar to the two types of W&N tins.) I was also put-off by their statement:<br /><br />"Note: We may substitute colors that are out of stock or unavailable at the time of your order with similar hues of equal or greater value."<br /><br />Well, that might be acceptable to some folks, but it puts me off by not knowing that I will get exactly what they say is in the tin. After all, this item is a bit expensive and their waiver gives them considerable leverage in changing the colours, if they decide to do so.<br /><br />I will get around to buying this set, maybe when I get up the courage to call them in America and ask them all the questions I have on this item. Thank you once again, Laura!Jayellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347130068867809931noreply@blogger.com
