Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor, 2025 New Colors Bundle

No one has more watercolor options than DANIEL SMITH. These five colors are the latest additions to the lineup — all new for 2025.

The new colors are nature-inspired, mostly muted, and very on-trend. Earthy Light Red is a granulating clay-colored orange, perfect for landscapes. Jaune Brilliant #1 is a traditional pale yellow, especially useful in portraiture, that's been missing from the expansive Dan Smith color chart until now. Manganese Violet is a unique single-pigment purple that granulates and offers highly dynamic tones. Coral Reef is a convenient peachy color that will be appreciated by floral artists, landscape painters, and portraitists. Finally, Cobalt Green Deep, an intensely granulating deep turquoise with a single-pigment formula, offers an irreplaceable and interesting option in its color family.

Five full-sized tubes (15 mL each). Made in the United States.

About Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor:

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor is not just the premier brand of American watercolor—it is the widest, most experimental range of watercolors in the world, with 266 colors and a never-ending flow of new ideas. Still based in Seattle after 50 years, Daniel Smith also remains at the forefront of art materials innovation. The Pacific Northwest's premier color house popularized quinacridones for artist use, created the first commercial versions of key colors on the contemporary palette, and pioneered new mineral colors by creating the pigments from scratch, literally grinding down the stones and binding them in an easy-to-use traditional watercolor.

Compared with the other brands of professional watercolor on the market, Daniel Smith stands out for its dense pigmentation, matte finish, and strongly adhesive binder. Taken together, these three qualities make Extra Fine Watercolors the unparalleled leader in sheer amount of pigment attached to the page. Even without layering, and even on wet paper, it's easy to build up a completely saturated masstone of most colors.

Each Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor is individually rated for lightfastness, granulation, staining, and opacity. Most colors carry the highest lightfastness rating, meaning colors won't fade for hundreds of years.
