Prang Semi-Moist Watercolor Refill Pans - 8 Colors, 3 Trays, Wax-Free, Non-Toxic
Prang Semi-Moist Watercolor Refill Pans - 8 Colors, 3 Trays, Wax-Free, Non-Toxic
The Prang Semi-Moist Watercolor 8-Color Oval Pan Refills Set comes with three refill trays, each containing eight individual oval pans of wax-free watercolor pigment. The colors included are black, blue, brown, green, orange, red, violet, and yellow. These refills are designed to snap into compatible Prang watercolor sets, extending their life without requiring a full new purchase. With a semi-moist formulation, they activate quickly with a wet brush and deliver the bright, transparent results that Prang is known for.
What’s Inside the Refill Set
The box contains three separate refill trays. Each tray holds eight oval pans: one each of black, blue, brown, green, orange, red, violet, and yellow. That means you get three sets of the eight core colors, providing a steady supply for busy classrooms or frequent painters. The pans are arranged in a standard oval shape that fits many Prang watercolor cases.
How the Snap-In Pans Work
Replacing empty pans is straightforward. The oval refills press into place in most Prang watercolor sets that use oval pans. No glue or tools are needed—just line up the pan and push down. This system makes it easy to swap out frequently used colors like blue or green without wasting paint.
Wax-Free Pigments for Clean Color Mixing
These refills use a wax-free pigment formula. Without wax fillers, the paint activates smoothly and mixes cleanly on the palette or paper. The result is a transparent, brilliant color with a matte finish after drying. Artists can build up washes or create fine details, as the pigments offer a wide range of textures from light glazes to saturated layers.
Intended Use and Safety
Prang watercolors are a popular choice for schools, daycares, and home art projects. The paints are non-toxic and safe for children when used as directed. They are designed for interior use on paper, and the semi-moist consistency means they stay ready for use without drying out quickly.
