12-Color California Coastal Watercolor Travel Palette

Our cozy shop is perched just a few blocks uphill from the Pacific Ocean, and we’re so lucky to have a magical seascape on view just outside our door. It may be a blazing blue or (more often) foggy horizon we see, but the colors are always breathtaking. This wonderful palette shares our favorite hues from our coastal home, including our own CfM Poppy, Pacific, and Cypress!

This set comes in our compact and elegant Simple Travel Palette in Matte Black. Our premade sets also include a swatch card letterpress printed by our friends at Aesthetic Union—what better way to get to know your new colors than a meditative swatching session?!

TOP ROW Citron Yellow, Egg Yolk Yellow, CfM Poppy, Blue Ridge Red Hematite

MIDDLE ROW CfM Moss, CfM Cypress Green, CfM Pacific, Ultramarine Blue Light

BOTTOM ROW Indigo, CfM Riverbed, Raw Umber Greenish, Titanium White

All of our watercolors are handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments, plus natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine, distilled water, and a dash of clove oil for freshness!

Some of our premade sets and custom blends contain colors which are not lightfast. Fading can be reduced by coating finished pieces in a UV protective varnish and/or keeping them out of direct sunlight. You can view a list of non-lightfast colors here.

All of our watercolors conform to ASTM D-4236.
