Have you ever been tempted by the latest watercolor palette on Amazon? Have you ever bought a palette and realized that it is identical to another paint you own? I have! And today I am going to show you what paints I think are exactly the same as others.
*I am not throwing shade at any of these companies, nor are they doing anything wrong. In the budget art supply market company's private label products as it is cheaper than having their own factories, staff and R&D. These factories make the paint according to the color palette requested and label it for the brand just like storebrand cereal in grocery stores. It is helpful to know what brands are what tho because you might pay 3x more for the same paint depending on who is selling it.
** These are my opinions, I do not work for any of these companies or have any inside information. I have jus extensively compared these paints and this is what I think.
