Watercolor Color Finder / Watercolor Search

[Thomas Blanchard]

Seeing the post about handprint.com made me think of these resources on the Daniel Smith website that I have found helpful that you may have missed.

Watercolor Color Finder

Watercolor Color Finder allows you to find equivalents from brand to brand.  The database has 5 major brands in it and it allows you to search forward and backward by brand.   An example say you see someone using Winsor Newton: Antwerp Blue but you use M. Graham paints and they call it Prussian Blue.

Watercolor Color Search

Watercolor Color Search allows you to search for a color paint based on pigment properties you choose.

Lightfastness,
Non-Staining/Staining,
Granulation and
Transparency

Thank you for the link, Thomas!  This will definitely come in handy and is more likely to be current than Handprint.

Most likely info overload 🙂  You commented last month when I originally posted.   Happens to the best of us.

Lol! I totally spaced it.  That’s what happens when you spend so much time at this community!
