Sargent ArtPrimary Acrylic Paint Set, 4 Ounce bottles x 6 Pack Set, Non-Fading, Rich Vivid Pigments, Brilliant Matte Finish, Fast Dry Formula, Non-Toxic

First of all, my printer isn't printing very vividly so consider that comparison imperfect.This set is actually much closer to the "best" primary colors than a traditional blue, red, yellow. This is closer to cyan, magenta, and yellow, the closest 3 primary colors we have to create the most secondary/tertiary colors. The "magenta" is called "deep rubin red" but it's magenta-like, and the "cyan" is called "turquoise," and that seems fairly accurate. I'd prefer an actual cyan and magenta but this is by far the best set I found for a decent price. I paid $6.50 for all 6 large paints.I made lots of beautiful colors with only those 3 primaries. Really infinite vivid shades. I just watched a YouTube video on CMY color mixing and I was good to go. The page with the lighter colors are pastels: mixed with white. Other than white, I made all those colors with only the 3 primaries from this set.I haven't had a lot of success darkening colors with black yet, but I only tried to darken a blue I tried to make. I need to experiment more with the blue making. Cyan with a little magenta makes blue, and I was getting close with or without adding black.The purples and teals are to-die-for. Wonderful variety in browns even without using the black or white.I didn't open the green that came with the set yet. It will save me some yellow next time I want to mix up shades of green. The yellow in particular doesn't go very far, I will have to look into getting more yellow.The tried paint on paper is chalky and unpleasant to touch. Applying a layer of gloss (which I already had) made it much nicer and is generally recommended anyway to protect your work.Coverage is decent, but not the absolute best I've ever seen.I'll update my review if anything happens like the paint cracks or anything. I look forward to doing some real projects with these colors. I have been excited to switch to CMY, and so far I love it more than RBY.

The only drawback is I wish there were more colors! Like dark blue.

I like these but am upset they don't have a different blue (can't complain I knew that when I bought it) super dark colors but found you don't need loads of layers to make it appear.

This Pack Is NOT The Actual Primary Colors.A Primary Color Pack Is Apple Red, Sunshine Yellow, Royal Blue, Black, White And A Medium Grey.The Blue In This Pack Is NOT Royal Blue. The Red Is Some Kind Of Magenta Red, Not The Rich Pure Apple Red. The Yellow Is A Lemon Yellow, Not Sunshine. And They Added An Emerald Green Instead Of Grey Which Is I Guess Ok Since It Saves Your Yellow And Blue.But You Cant Make A Nice Deep Royal Blue With A Turquoise/Cyan Blue Which Is The Blue They Decided To Add Here. Itll Always Come Out Abit Off. Thats Why Royal Blue Is The Primary Color In Painting Because It Can Be Mixed Into ANY One Of The Blue Colors You Need By Adding The Other Colors To It. The Same Is True For Apple Red, And Sunshine Yellow. Those Three Are The Purest Forms Of The Color And Thus Make All The Colors. Cyan/Turquoise Blue Has White And Green Mixed In. Magenta Red Has Blue/Purple Mixed In. And Lemon Yellow Has White Mixed In. This Means The Colors Wont Be Pure. THIS Blue, Red And Yellow Look More Like The Primary Colors Youd See On A Printer, Not In Paints. The Paint Itself Is Ok Though So Its Definitely Usable. Its Alittle Thinner Than I Was Expecting But Ill Assume Water Was Added To It To Make It Spread More Which Also Makes The Colors A Little Off. Basically This Pack Is Good For Kids Who Dont Care About Specifics, But If Youre An "OCD" Artist Like Me, Just Buy The Colors Individually So You Have The Right Primaries For Your Art. I Got This Little Set Specifically For A Project My Four Year Old Daughter Wants Me To Work On With Her. Shes Becoming A Mini Artist So I Do Like That These Are All Non-Toxic, But Still Watch Your Kids Closely With Them. Well Be Using It On A Nutcracker We Are Making So Ill Post A Picture Of That When Its Finished. Itll Be Awhile Before That Happens Since I Take My Time With These Types Of Crafts And She Wants It Made For Her Uncle As A Gift So We Will Be Taking Great Care Making And Painting It.

It is easy to mix and make different colors, also thickness is exactly what I was looking for

I'm quite happy with these paints, and think they're a good volume for the price. I've used them on canvas boards and PLA 3d printed objects. If coated too thick on the plastic it can crack and peel, but I consider that to be user error and not a fault of the paint. I was happy to see these are made in the USA. The colors have dense pigment, so even painting white over black can take just a couple of coats. If anything they dry faster than I'd like while painting on canvas as I'd like more time for blending, but drying fast has been nice for 3d objects as it allows multiple coats and handling sooner. I've been happy with the hues resulting from blending, and thing this set is a good all around choice if looking for acrylics for medium sized projects. The attached photo shows some leftovers from cleaning a palette, the paint in the photo is still wet.

Perfect size, blends easily
