Amsterdam Acrylic 120 ml Set / 5 Primary

I love this paint! It’s cruelty free and vegan friendly, which is 5 stars in my book by default. Some people seem concerned which the colors included in the set. Actually, primary magenta and cyan are true primary colors. They are the colors printers use to make each and every color we see. I love this about this brand because it’s unique, and it gives the artist more vibrant colors and mixing power. You wouldn’t get the vibrancy and the same colors for regular red or ph. Blue. Don’t be fooled, this set is a great set to have in your stash.

The red was magenta

I love this brand for acrylic paint. They say it’s a pack of the primary colors plus white and black but that “red” is a primary magenta and the blue is too light to be a primary blue and the name of it’s primary cyan. Even thought this brand doesn’t sell a paint that says “primary blue” the phthalo blue in my opinion is closer to a primary blue then the one included in the package. But I saw the price and thought that it wasn’t bad so despise the description and one other review about the magenta paint, I still bought it cause I honestly don’t care but this review is just for people that expect the actual primary colors in it. In case anyone is trying to find the closest to primary red and blue in this brand I inserted pics of the paints I use. Hope this helps somebody.

Pigmented and so smooth. I love it

Ive been painting for a long time and i used to think it truly didn’t matter what paint i used as long as it was acrylic (my preferred medium). After using this paint that couldn’t be farther from the truth. This paint has a great weight to it and is very pigmented. Would recommend.

This has been my go-to brand of paint over the years for simple art projects, and I go through these basic colors very quickly. Theyre nice and thick and easy to work with, and great for the price.

Please dont listen to the reviews giving low marks because these arent primary colors. They actually are. Primary cyan and primary magenta are far superior primary colors compared to the usual red and blue. I tested this out when I received my paint. I put the same amount of cyan and magenta and made a beautiful purple and then I did the same with red and blue from artist loft paint and guess what they definitely did NOT make purple. It was a muddy mess. If you are looking for TRUE PRIMARY COLORS by a great brand for a really good price pick these! You wont be disappointed.

FANTASTIC value for the money. I love this brand and the quality of their paint, so the deal was amazing. I use it on canvas, fabric, blend it with mediums, you name it. Awesome paint, awesome deal!

I shouldve read before purchasing... The so called primaries in this pack arent red, yellow and blue but rather magenta, yellow and cyan. Now, the colors feel good and creamy but when I was painting, I saw that it was rather see through? I dont know if anyone else has this problem. Its not too big of a problem, just thought it could be better. The other thing is, the way the yellow and magenta mix is so bad. It just stays orange even when I try to put in more yellow, it takes to long to get to the color that I want. Overall, its good quality, just not the primaries I needed.

Amsterdam is definitely a step up from basic level paint. In some ways I can understand paying more for higher quality paint, but since I’m not a professional I’m still on a budget. This set was much more affordable than buying individual tubes.
