As many as 152 of 179 colors are characterized by the highest possible lightfastness (4 out of 5 stars).

Horadam Aquarell watercolor paints are tested to the highest quality standards for stability, fineness, solubility, durability and lightfastness.

These paints have the ability to reactivate. You can easily moisten and pick up Horadam paints from the palette and paint with it again without effort or excessive water. Moreover, they guarantee a controlled gradient of colors - even on soft watercolor paper. The key ingredient in Horadam watercolors is the gum Arabic Kordofan obtained from Acacia Verek trees.
