I don’t claim to be an expert watercolor painter at all, I’m a beginner, but I am feeling like I might establish a “home base” at one particular convenience green (as is suggested in some reliable green-mixing tutorials anyway). I don’t want to commit myself to a bad home-base choice, however. First, should I or shouldn’t I?
I did buy some of the new Stonehenge watercolor paper to see if it works well with CP. I found it won’t take much erasing or lifting at all, the fibers start to pill easily, so I don’t recommend it for CP work. I haven’t tried it for watercolor CP. Thanks for posting this info – extremely helpful.

I couldn’t find any watercolor with name Royal Blue. But I can safely assume that there is no such single-pigment paint known by other more popular name anyways. There are some oil paints with the exact name all of which are mixtures of white plus blue (either ultramarine, or cobalt blue, or cerulean).
Grinding up pastels and painting only with them, like gouache, would most commonly be deemed water media, not watercolor. Only watercolor is watercolor. I agree with briantmeyer (to a point) in that if you are only painting for yourself, individual exhibitions and sales, who cares what you are using!
If I want my white gouache or Acryla accents to be a little off white is it ok to add a little watercolor to them ?
