A colour looks glorious in a photograph, arrives, and turns out chalky, or dull, or nothing like the swatch.

All 100 colours in the ROSA Gallery watercolour range, laid out as dried drops on watercolour paper.

Rather than list them, we'd suggest testing — granulation looks quite different depending on your paper and how much water you use, so seeing it on your own materials is far more useful than a label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I paint an actual picture with it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can. Plenty of painters use a dot card as a compact hundred-colour palette for a few sessions before swatching what's left.
