Last set to review is the High Chroma Set. Saving the most vibrant for last. This Introductory set is also vibrant and a perfect set for mixing. You can get a wide range of colors from these 6.
Golden created the concept of watercolors within their company around the 80's and a decade later they were on the shelves as a new product called Qor watercolors. Their selling point is that they are highly saturated color extended in a binder that is called Aquazol, instead of gum arabic. The Aquazol is a clear liquid and doesn't stain over time and is an excellent binder for pigment. They're still in testing phase with the ASTM (ASTM International is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services) so they have done their own tests on lightfastness and grade them a bit differently, EX for excellent, GD for good, and FR for fair. This is done for about half of them, the rest have been tested with ASTM.
