The \u003cstrong\u003eROSA Gallery Empty Watercolour Tin\u003c\/strong\u003e in red is the fix. It is a professional-grade metal palette case, made in Ukraine, that arrives empty and waiting — you fill it with your own full pans or half pans, in your own order, in your own colour logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes. The \u003cstrong\u003e21 full pan case\u003c\/strong\u003e is a genuinely pocketable travel palette that still gives you a serious working range. The \u003cstrong\u003e35 full pan case\u003c\/strong\u003e is a studio-grade palette that folds down small enough to live in a rucksack. Both come in a deep, saturated red — a finish you will not find on the standard turquoise and indigo tins stocked by most UK art shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e21 full pan case:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 × 7 × 2.3 cm, approx. 210 g.

ROSA specifies an off-white with no added shade, because a snow-white enamel throws glare back at you in direct sunlight and quietly shifts how you read every wash you mix. On an overcast day you would never notice. On a bright afternoon on the coast, it is the difference between colours that look right in the tin and colours that look right on the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy ROSA Gallery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROSA is a Ukrainian manufacturer with more than 25 years in professional art materials, developing its range in direct collaboration with working artists. The cases carry the same engineering thinking as the paints: the catch system, the removable rows and the finger ring all exist because painters asked for them. Buying ROSA also means supporting Ukrainian manufacturing at a time when that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlein air and travel painters\u003c\/strong\u003e — a metal tin that survives a rucksack and a thumb ring that survives a windy hillside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtists building a custom palette\u003c\/strong\u003e — pour your own pans from tube colour, or mix pans across brands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUrban sketchers\u003c\/strong\u003e — the 21 pan case fits a coat pocket alongside a waterbrush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio painters with a wide range\u003c\/strong\u003e — 35 full pans covers a full botanical or landscape palette without a second tin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone consolidating\u003c\/strong\u003e five half-used sets into one working palette.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA gift that gets opened and then actually used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpty palette cases are the rare art gift that cannot be wrong. You are not guessing someone's colour taste, their pigment loyalties or their brand preference — you are giving them the case and letting them fill it. The red finish makes it feel like an object rather than a supply, and at this price it sits comfortably in the under-£20 and under-£30 gift brackets for birthdays, Christmas and art school starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes it come with paint or pans?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The case is supplied completely empty so you can choose your own colours.

The case is designed around ROSA full pans and half pans, but takes standard pans from most manufacturers.
