I have coveted this palette for years and I finally bought it! Blick had a great price and I had a couple of tubes of paint I needed to order so I couldn't resist: https://shrsl.com/3kvrl (blick)
*If blick is out of stock Amazon has them for a few dollars more: https://amzn.to/3yF60pr (tip: check "other sellers" because they have cheaper ones but delivery is slower.
**Jackson's has them cheaper! https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/sch...

It's hard not to be biassed because I have wanted this palette for a long time. The enameled metal palette is heavy-duty and well made. Schminke is a top watercolor manufacturer. You get the palette and 8 half pans for around $83. I am happy with my purchase. Colors included are: Cadmium red light, Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Yellow ochre, Prussian Blue, Ultramarine, Sepia and Dark Olive Green (looks like Hookers green)

Pros:
High-quality enameled metal palette

Split complementary mixing colors are included so you pretty much can mix what you want.

The palette holds about an ounce of water, enough to fill the cup all the way but I recommend only filling in halfway so you can hold it and not slosh it out of the cup when rinsing.

Brass fittings should prevent rust.

Cons:
The colors are very traditional so they may feel lackluster if you prefer a modern palette.

You could lose the cap if you are not careful

The water capacity is small, about an ounce I would guess. I found it very serviceable with these paints.

Bottom line: I will call this a useful novelty palette. I can put it in my pocket with a small sketchpad and brush and be all set. I won't replace my Portable Painter and my primary travel watercolor palette but for quick trips, it does nicely.
