Color swatches. Pigment based, brand comparisons. [View all]

So. I got an email from Jerry's Artarama. It was a sale (duh) that included Rembrandt watercolors, which I have never tried.

So I did a google search to see if there were any particular colors that were favorites and I stumble upon this site:

https://www.kimcrick.com/pages/pigment-database-swatch-card-color-charts-for-watercolor-paint-ink-gouache-acrylic

Rather than color, she groups her comparisons based on pigment. So if you start with the Yellow, she starts with PY1.

Thought others might find it helpful.

(If you're curious, I'm trying the Ultra Marine Violet, PV15 and the Greenish Umber, PBr8 and the sale ($25+) includes a Rembrandt dot card.)
