From the manufacturer
Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colour
A wide and balanced spectrum of 109 colours in a selection of pan and tube sizes. Each colour has been specially selected and formulated to offer the greatest choice and flexibility, ensuring all artists can obtain the palette that best suits their work.
Pigments
Water colour more than any other medium relies upon the variable characteristics of the pigments used. Wherever possible, single pigments have been used in the Professional Water Colour range. Single pigment formulations are purer in hue and cleaner in colour than mixtures of pigments, providing a larger number of colour mixes before resulting in muddy effects.
Unrivalled Transparency
The transparency of our Professional Water Colour is achieved by our unique process of pigment dispersion during manufacture. The natural characteristics of each pigment highlights the paint’s transparency level. In water colour painting, thin washes are applied allowing the white of the paper to reflect through the wash.
Permanence
106 out of 109 colours in our Professional Water Colour range are classed as "permanent for artists' use”, rated AA or A for archival permanence to ensure that these colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.

Product Description
Winsor & Newton Professional Water Color offers artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments with the greatest possible permanence. The brilliance, transparency, and purity of color is unparalleled to any other water color. Since 1832 when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist water colors to the world, much of our reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from the Professional Water Color range. Since then Professional Water Color continues to be formulated and manufactured according to our founding principles. Each color within this wide and balanced spectrum of 96 colors, has been selected and formulated to offer the greatest choice so that artists can use a unique palette that best suits their work. Permanent Carmine is a mid-crimson pigment. Highly transparent and permanent, it is a lower cost replacement to genuine Carmine. In Antiquity, Carmine was made from thousands of crushed kermes insects.

Now if you can do simple math, you know that 8ml is much less than 14ml. So I ordered $14.00 WN Proffesional 14ml and got 8ml of WN Cotman.
Classic Bait and Switch.

When I opened the tube, the first three squeezes were of a sticky clear liquid -- the binding agent I assumed. I figured it would settle down once the binder was squeezed out. Nope. This color never settled down and remained sticky and clumpy, even drying clumpy on my pallette. No matter how much water I use to thin it, it made the Arches hot press I was using pill up -- and then left a darker pigment on every pill, even when dry. It was impossible to get a smooth wash with this very expensive color -- at least from the tube I bought here on Amazon. Too much money to be wasting on a tube of paint that can't be used.
M. Graham it is.
The consistency seems very different from my other watercolors (Sennelier, Van Gogh, Daniel Smith, and Prima Marketing Watercolor Confections)... more “slimy” all though I don’t know if that’s the best way to describe it. It just lays on the paper different and doesn’t mix well.
I doubt this is true of all Windsor & Newton watercolors (I have some of their inks and find them to be spectacular)... so I really think it is just this shade. In all honesty, I wouldn’t buy it again. I would go with a Daniel Smith Primatek green instead.
Still, there should be enough left for my project needs. Again, the paint looks to be just as advertised. And it's made in France, as opposed to the dry paints from W&N, which are made in China.

TL;DR: To put it simply, these are a huge step up from student-grade watercolours and in particular, W&N's Cotman range. For professional work, get these. For hobby, non-serious work, buy the Cotman range, they're cheaper.
I was taking at art school using their Cotman range and started losing my passion for both art and watercolours, questioning my skill. I wanted to paint vibrant images but no matter how much paint I used, the image always dried with dull colours and it began to make me feel like I had to be inadequate at painting for this to be the issue - yet deep down I considered that it may be my materials. After researching watercolours more technically I decided I was using a cheaper variation of what I really required. If you're painting for a non-serious hobby, or with light pastels mainly, you should stick to student-grade paints because they're far more affordable. But if you are considering presenting your work, gifting or selling it and require deeper, brighter shades, I would give these a chance. The colours are so much more vibrant than student-grades, they dry the same shade as the swatch on the tube which is helpful and buying these has reinvigorated my love for watercolours. I no longer feel like my work is suffering.
These are really expensive, admittedly but they're so bright and thick that a little bit can spread very far, making them worth the price. I would gladly spend a fiver per tube for their amazing quality.
I have one issue with the paints and it's minor. When I opened my Cadmium Orange shade, it was almost all water and about 1/3 of the tube paint - that being said the colour is so lovely and the paint is itself so thick that it is lasting me a long while. However, it seems to be a manufacturing failure that so much paint is missing from the tube. At least if you buy in stores, you can check to see if the paints are watery or have been squeezed out before you buy them as they do not come packaged, they arrive exactly as in the picture, in a box or envelope.
One great thing about these paints, a direct link to their quality over student-grade paints is that they are so thick they can be used like gouache paints. I love gouache and I'm glad I bought these first as I was initially just going to buy any other random set of watercolours plus some gouaches. These double as both depending on how much you thin with water.
I bought all of the tubes separately. On some obscure parts of Amazon, or on W&N's own website, they sell a set. The average basic rainbow colours you'll find in any set. I wanted to pick the shades myself and I'm glad I did. However, I'm not sure if this is true to the nature of some of the colours or another manufacturing issue - some of the colours are slightly more grainy than the others. For example, my Lemon Yellow and Orange are buttery smooth but my Cobalt Violet is slightly bitty/gritty and while it will mix smooth eventually, it takes longer to mix it with other shades thoroughly.
Also, W&N have their own guide about how saturated/transparent each colour is and there is a difference between some of the shades as shown when I made a mixing chart. Some are really opaque but easily mixed like my Cadmium Red, others are more on the transparent side like my Lemon Yellow or Hooker's Green. But they're very easy to work with.
Overall, I'm very pleased. These colours are fantastic, the range is great, it is a bit pricy but my artwork looks great as a result.
