Yes, 104 of the 108 colors in the range have an AA or A rating, indicating excellent permanence and resistance to fading.

This is common with high-pigment professional paints. Simply massage the closed tube gently to re-mix the binder and pigment.
Check if you are mixing too many different pigments at once. Switch to using more single-pigment shades from the range to keep mixtures clean.
Ensure your paper is properly sized and consider adding a small amount of watercolor blending medium to keep the wash open longer.
To set up your palette, squeeze a small pea-sized amount of paint into a high-quality ceramic or plastic mixing tray. Since these are highly concentrated, you can dilute them with varying amounts of distilled water to achieve anything from a pale wash to a deep, saturated color. These paints are fully compatible with other professional-grade watercolor brands and mediums, such as masking fluid or granulation medium. When finished, ensure tubes are wiped clean and tightly capped to prevent the paint from drying out or pigment separation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments over time.
