How should I store the watercolour paint?

What kind of paper is best for this watercolour?

What does 'lightfastness' mean in relation to this paint?
Excellent lightfastness means the color is highly resistant to fading when exposed to light over time, ensuring your artwork retains its original vibrancy for years.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears dry in the tube
Gently squeeze the tube. If the paint is very firm, add a drop of water and let it sit for a few minutes before trying to squeeze again. Ensure the cap is always sealed tightly when not in use.
Color seems less vibrant than expected
Ensure you are using enough paint and adequate water. For more opacity or intensity, apply additional layers once the previous layer is dry. Check that your brush is properly loaded with pigment.
Difficulty in rewetting dried paint on palette
Use a slightly damp brush and gently agitate the dried paint. A spray bottle with clean water can also help to soften the paint before picking it up with a brush.
