Each one of these palette slots describes a hue family. On each slot page, find a list of all the watercolor paint colors in theslot for which I’ve made Color Spotlight posts. Generally, palette slots are hue families, and Color Spotlights are at the pigment level: multiple brands of the same color are in the same Color Spotlight.
Looking to replicate another artist’s palette? Often, if an artist uses a color in a particular slot, you can substitute another color from the same slot to match the hue closely enough. Other paint qualities may be different (e.g. transparency, granulation).
The division of paints into slots is vibes-based, and the colors in each family do not constitute an exhaustive list of all paints or pigments. I generally chose to spotlight the most popular or common paints, especially single-pigment ones. I put a star next to my favorites.
