Amsterdam Acrylic 120 ml Set / 5 Primary

Package looked fine on the out side, inside package was broke open with the black, red and blue paint exploded all over. What do I do now?

The product it sounds is good, I do think that the price is to the higher end,

The red an blue arent primary colors...or they werent in my pack. The reason for getting primary colors is to be able to mix colors. It makes it a bit tricky with colors that arent primary. And they turn out more likely to be muddy.

I will update this review next week since haven’t received these paints yet, but I am giving them 5 stars out of principle after reading unfair reviews docking stars because they don’t know magenta is a primary color and red is not. I’m trying to teach my kid basic color theory for kindergarten and for some reason they don’t make CYM primary paints for kids. I guess Big Paint doesn’t want them to know the truth about color theory, so they’re perpetuating the lie of red yellow and blue? Maybe Crayola is in too deep and can’t turn back now; what would happen if people found out the truth? Red and blue sales would plummet, the edgy emo kids and studio art majors who regret going to college would become even more suicidal - it would be CHAOS! Yes, you read that correctly. Your whole childhood was a lie. Red, yellow and blue are not actually the primary colors. The primary colors are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Red blue and yellow are a bastardized version of these colors, with cheaper pigments. BUT WAIT! You cry out, desperate to hold onto your fond childhood memories, the other colors can’t make red, yellow and blue! Ha! I am going to expose the conspiracy - magenta and cyan make blue! Yellow and magenta make red! As you mix the colors to see for yourself, the “primary” colors of red and blue appearing as you mix together the “wrong” primary colors, you have flashbacks of finding out Santa Clause doesn’t exist. Your sense of reality challenged, you wonder other fallacies you’ve been led to believe. Are there really two political parties, or a single group of obscenely wealthy families putting on a show? You start reading George Orwell books. If the government admitted to MK Ultra, what are they doing that they don’t tell us? You begin to make your family uncomfortable at dinner. “It’s not a conspiracy,” you tell them, “the documents are public record.” Your spouse files for divorce and takes the kids. All because you bought some paint on Amazon. You’re right though, it’s not red. It’s magenta.

Really nice paints

Very good paint for the price. Obviously its not professional paint, but they also have an expert series if you want that. I bought this because out of all the (studio, beginner, studio, standard) series paint this is one of the cheapest sets. It comes with the 3 primary colors, yellow, cyan, and magenta. Think about a printer, these are the colors you want. Yellow, blue, and red work for darker colors but good luck trying to get purple shades out of that. I emailed the company and +++ is a lightfastness of 100+ years. So all of these colors except the yellow is good. The yellow ++, can be anywhere from 25-100 years. Compare this to castle art supplies and US. art supply paint which is probably good for 3 years. The arteza paint was very sketchy because the (+) symbols didnt seem to match the paint, like the Pink being a lightfast of +, which is supposed to be good? This is a well established company. So if your looking for a good primary beginner set this is the obvious winner and by far the cheapest. You might be able to find liquitex for the same price if there is a sale going but this was on sale so I decided to try it. I like it.

Love the depth of pigments. Im an acrylic poured and the smooth body of these pigments allows for easy mixing with mediums. The white mixed with equal parts Deco Art Satin Enamal makes for some amazing webbing! (Thin to proper consistency.)

Not a primary red.

colors were good, I mixed and painted, needed the primary this worked very well!!

These paints are great quality for my painting projects, highly recommend using!
