I have been useing Utrecht paints for a very long time - their colors are clear and are excelent for mixing --- I depend on sight more than "names" to tell me if the hue is what I need to mix the color I want -- the jars are translucent so you can see the color - the new large mouth Pint jars are great not only because you can put back paint if you take out too much -- they also stack well if your space is limited.
