I aim to have a mixture of the well-known and the lesser known but don't have a formula just off the cuff.

I'm surprised you haven't included Alvaro Castagnet, originally from Uruguay....fantastic watercolor painter. I took a workshop with him about 10 plus years ago in Oaxaca....excellent.

Apparently shades across the earth colours do vary considerably, which is my experience also. It's a question of finding one you like and sticking to it.

I bought a Winsor & Newton Professional watercolour tube the other day. Went for 'professional W&N' rather than an SAA one - RAW UMBER. I was expecting to get a paint that was on the dark side, but to my surprise it is more like a dull Raw Sienna (tinged with green but only very slightly so). Now, my question, have they got the shade wrong and don't realise, or is this something that has always been this shade and I've been buying Raw Umber before (dark shade) that has been wrong?
