Frequently asked questions
How does the Watercolour Set Finder choose colours?
It scores every Michael Harding watercolour against your painting style and technical preferences — granulation, transparency, staining power, lightfastness and pigment purity — then distributes your chosen set size across the colour families your discipline relies on most.
Is the recommendation based on real product data?
Yes. Every recommendation is drawn from the live Michael Harding watercolour catalogue, using each colour’s actual pigment code, opacity, granulation, staining power and lightfastness ratings — no colours are invented.
Are these watercolours vegan?
No — the full Michael Harding watercolour range is bound with honey, so none of the colours in this finder are vegan. For vegan options, explore our oil colour and mediums ranges.
