Cathy: I saw these sample sheets in the latest DS catalog. Like you, I thought it was a great idea.
The Daniel Smith paints in my palette include Hansa Yellow Med, New Gamboge, Pyrrol Orange, Quinacridone Red, and Carbizole Violet in my palette--love them all. Rather than being just convenience colors, the Pyrrol Orange and Violet are single pigment paints and have more transparency than mixing two colors together. The Carbizole Violet, however, is pretty saturated, and is of medium opacity.

It's even more fun to get to test drive them!
I'm not always after transparency, so that's not a huge issue with me...I like semi-opaque colors too, and ones that granulate. I enjoy some with body, like the Cadmiums. But that orange is spectacular, isn't it? It didn't make it onto my travel palette, not enough wells, but it's on my big one.
And thank you much for the kind words in your blog!
