Remove loose paint with clean water and a soft cloth, but do not scrub away usable colour.

Record the brand, colour name and pigment code for each well.

Arrange colours in a consistent sequence such as warm to cool or by colour family.

A limited palette reduces duplicate purchases, makes replacements predictable and reveals which colours you truly use.

Warm and cool labels describe a colour’s visual leaning.

A practical starter palette includes warm and cool versions of the primary colours, plus an earth colour if desired.

Your palette needs enough wells for colours you use regularly, plus generous mixing areas.

Plastic is light and inexpensive, metal is durable and portable, and ceramic offers an excellent mixing surface but is heavier and breakable.

Pre-filled sets are convenient and ready to use, while empty palettes let you choose every colour and replace it individually.

Choose a palette with enough mixing space, secure wells and a lid if portability matters.
