Nice selection of colours. Vibrancy is great. 15 ml tubes. I can’t see I would use the white or the black but I feel they are equivalent to the other professional brands I have in my paint kit - update: I am completely sold on these a year later and will purchase specialty colours from DS as needed but this is my go to set. You get a lot of paint for the price. Highly recommended.
The 24 pure pigment set consists of 24 lovely and concentrated pure-pigment paints which allow you to mix whatever colour you desire. Besides the 24 hues (15mL each), a small tube of white and black are provided. I love the cobalt teal, both by itself and mixed into greens. It's unfortunate that the manufacturer mis-named PB15:3 (commonly known as phthalo blue green shade) as Cerulean blue but my solution is to relabel the tubes with a sticker to avoid accidentally selecting the wrong tube! When the paints are mixed wet-into-wet, they disperse very slowly. This may be annoying to some users why like to drop colors onto a damp sheet to mix. However, it may be helpful in botanical painting, allowing more time to "mop away" color to retain highlights.
Very pigmented, good texture, very nice choice of colors and I am very happy to find the Cobalt Deep Green, the Cobalt Turquoise and the Quinacridone Violet. However, 541 Cerulean Blue (PB15:3) too close to Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15:6) should be replaced by the true Cerulean Blue (PB35) that Mission Gold calls Cobalt Cerulean Blue. And in watercolor, white is never used, except for a few gouache accents. For that, I would remove half a star.
I loved that they are single pigment. If I'm following a painting tutorial I can always find an equivalent of another brand. The colors are vibrant and behave nicely on the paper. I would highly recommend. You get a lot of paint for the money.

These paints have great pigment load, are smooth and rewet very easily and mix smoothly to creat great selection of colours, this is what single pigment paints are great for. I love this brand, it has really nice paints. I do recommend this set.

My first professional watercolor paints ever. They are super fun to experiment with. The colors in this set just what I need and they give gorgeous result when mixed together. Note that it is best to use ceramic palette (the colors are so pigmented that they leave stains in plastic)
A great product, at a good price. I plan to buy more Mission Gold tubes for my collection. Lovely bright colours, so watch reviews online to see if this paint is right for you.

I tested a selection of the 24 plus 2 (black and white) and they performed as expected from a professional brand which Mijello is. The pigment strength is top of the class. Rich and creamy in texture and very easy to get flowing.
I am recommending this brand to everyone I know. These watercolors are just in a special class.

These paints are beautifully vibrant and intense. They lay down very smoothly and what's particularly nice is how easily they reactivate after they've dried on the palette. A few drops of water and they're as fluid and intense as if freshly squeezed from the tube. Fabulous
