FAQs
What does the permanence rating AA mean?
An AA rating indicates that the pigment is extremely permanent and lightfast, meaning it will show no noticeable change in appearance over time when exposed to normal lighting conditions.
Are these paints safe for children?
No, these are professional-grade paints and are not suitable for children under 36 months. They contain ingredients that may cause skin sensitization.
Can I refill these pans?
Yes, you can refill the pans using Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour tubes once the pan is empty.
What is the difference between a whole pan and a half pan?
A whole pan holds twice the amount of paint compared to a half pan, making it ideal for artists who use specific colors frequently or work on large-scale watercolor paintings.
Do these paints contain animal products?
Some Winsor & Newton professional colours use binders that may contain animal-derived ingredients. Always check specific pigment data sheets if you strictly follow a vegan practice.
Troubleshooting
Paint is difficult to re-wet.
Ensure the pan was not stored in excessive heat; use a spray bottle to lightly mist the surface of the pan 5 minutes before you begin painting.
Colors appear muddy when mixed.
Check your mixing ratio; excessive mixing of more than three colors or mixing colors with high opacity can lead to dull results. Focus on using the single-pigment colors in the range for cleaner mixes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your palette, simply place the whole pan into a standard professional-grade metal or plastic watercolor box. These pans are designed to be removable, allowing you to customize your color arrangement.
Care instructions include:
- Hydration: Lightly mist your pans with clean water a few minutes before painting to reactivate the binder.
- Cleanliness: Always clean your brushes thoroughly between colors to prevent pigment contamination in the pans.
- Storage: Keep your palette in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the pans are completely dry before closing the palette case to prevent mold growth on the paint surface.
- Safety: Due to the biocidal components, avoid skin contact with the wet paint and always wash your hands after a painting session.
