Fantastic color set!  You will be pleased with the wide variety of magical/INTERFERENCE whites!
Out of the package, I am glad I purchased this set! It is an affordable way to sample 48 colors!<br /><br />For those wondering or concerned about all the whites...personally, I am very pleased!! They are NOT duplicates; they are INTERFERENCE MICA COLORS which I am super appreciative that these were included! INTERFERENCE COLORS = (lol, look it up for a proper definition but, BASICALLY =) dual tone white micas; white from one angle, and an interference color, for instance; flashes of blue OR red OR purple etc...when you look at it from another angle.<br /><br />AS PICTURED, I think there are only two duplicate colors (bronze & red brown) but, I knew that by carefully reviewing the photo prior to purchasing. They happen to be colors I use a lot of so, I am happy with this.<br /><br />For those concerned that the packages are too similar in color, each are unique with a slightly different character.<br />Take for instance a few of the golds differ from a rich deep golden or bright & shiny like finish or have a very subtle green hue, etc.<br /><br />Other colors offered that you may be wondering about also have these slight but, for some of us, important subtle differences.<br /><br />I do wish there were more variations of the blues, yet, it's okay! This is an affordable sampling set, delivered fast & in tact. (zipper bags keep the cost down of this nice variety of samples. I use & reuse over & over the tip of plastic cutlery knives as my mica scoopers.)<br /><br />I'm taking a wild guess...& it could be due to some regulations on certain color pigments...True Red seems a bit hard to come by also. Let's see how the included red does.<br /><br />So far, out of the box, I am very pleased with this set!<br />I HAVE NOT TRIED THESE IN MY PROJECTS YET. I will certainly update my review if they don't perform well.  :)
