Description meant to get me acquainted with my new Schmincke Horadam watercolors. I looked up pictures which are mostly one color so that I could then explore the color and see how much range it has (washes only).
I added of course accents of other colors too when there was a need of that.

additional colors:
Mountain Blue, 480: cerulean blue hue
Cerulean Blue Hue, 481: none
Deft Blue, 482: Cerulean Blue hue
Indigo, 485: none
Prussian Blue, 492: Ultramarine finest, Naples Yellow
Ultramarine Finest, 494: Cerulean Blue hue
Ultramarine Violet, 495: Cerulean Blue hue
Phtalo Green, 519: none

reference pics:
480 Mountain Blue
481 Cerulean Blue Hue
482 Deft Blue
485 Indigo
492 Prussian Blue
494 Ultramarine Finest
495 Ultramarine Violet  
519 Phtalo Green

Aah such gorgeous colours (and great technique and painting with them C'; )
Love the prussian blue too, and the indigo is gorgeous as well

yup ^^ it's more vibrant when it's wet so I'm a bit worried I'll use it wrong

I feel you. It also happens with crimson rose.
I love prussian blue on Derwent pencils, it just looks like your soft and delicate watercolor flower.

I think it's just meant to be paler than deft blue ^^ the more I use these the more I'll know how to I am sure
