Since 1832 when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolors to the world, much of Winsor & Newton's reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from the Professional Watercolor range. Since then, Professional Watercolor continues to be formulated and manufactured according to Winsor and Newton's founding principles; to create an unparalleled watercolor range which offers artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments with the greatest possible permanence. Each color within this wide and balanced spectrum has been selected and formulated to offer the greatest choice so that artists can use a unique palette that best suits their work. This is a Half Pan of Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor in Quinacridone Violet.
