## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the exact names of the colors included in this set?**
A: "Sigh" @Gingercook, primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow - no need to be ugly about it asking questions is how you learn  

Black is a shade and white is a tint. They also included green as the fifth member of this 5 pack, which is a secondary color and easily made yourself - would have been better to include an additional white. 

Of course the question doesn't specify which pack/package/bundle is being referred to. So, to answer that question it's best to always read the descriptions as they can change depending on which option you choose.

**Q: are these water soluable?**
A: Yes any acrylic paint is water soluble also you can water down the paint as well if you want to spread it out

**Q: If I get paint on my clothes, does this paint wash out easily?**
A: Hi!  Good question.  Here is what I have found to be true. Dried acrylic paint is there forever. But, if you wash it out immediately...IMMEDIATELY it will come out.  There maybe a teeny bit left but, most of it will come out.

**Q: I recently read that cheaper tubes of paint usually contain less pigment. How's the opacity of this brand?**
A: This is the companies student grade paint. They also carry a professional grade. As they have stated, this company makes their student grade the same as the professional grade with the only exception being the amount of pigment added. Thus you have the same lightfast, opacity, and quality as the pro grade just with a bit less pigment added. 
If you have previously painted using this brand and find it has less pigment, well then you most likely used their professional grade in the past.
