So this is nice, you seem to be covering the acrylic brands you see in a craft store. I’ve had to pick nearest colors in the past, and end up buying several each time. This should help, thanks! Are there artists brands in there too?

For those who don’t know, the main difference between craft store paints and artist grade paints are:

- ratio of pigment to binder (craft store paints have less pigment)

- pigment quality (craft store paints are usually larger grain and may sometimes use unsafe pigments)

- color purity and consistency (craft store paints may contain traces of unintended pigments and may vary between batches)

- color variety (craft store paint manufacturers are NOT going to be paying extra for rare pigments)

- lightfastness (craft store paints may fade quicker due to lack of UV protectant additives)

- binder quality (craft store paints may use cheaper, more toxic binders)

Otherwise they are the same stuff, it’s kinda hard to screw up mixing acrylic binder with a pigment.

Check that your paint has the ACMI Approved Product seal.

Yeah so far I've only added brands you can find in craft stores (FolkArt Matte, Apple Barrel, and DecoArt Americana)

Any specific artist brands you'd want to see added?
