In this video I’m unboxing and testing the SAKURA KOI Creative Art Colors (CAC) 24-color watercolor set—because I found a major deal and I had to see if it’s actually worth it. I compare it to my old favorite KOI set (the 30-color palette) and walk you through what makes this newer set feel like a “game-changer” for the price. The big difference: this 24-color version includes metallics and fluorescents that you don’t get in the original set, which is such a fun upgrade if you like adding pops of shine and bright accents to your art. I also talk through why I keep recommending KOI watercolors as an affordable, accessible option—especially if you’re building your art supply collection or you want something dependable for creative planning and bullet journal art. My main takeaway is that you’re getting really solid quality for the cost, and the specialty colors (metallic + fluorescent) make this set feel extra versatile. If you’ve been debating between sets, I share what I’d pick depending on whether you want more standard colors (30 set) or you want those special-effect shades (24 CAC).
