Information from their website:
“Artists know and appreciate my oil paints for their high pigment load, and now watercolourists everywhere will benefit from the unprecedented proportions of pigment in my watercolors. After forty years making paint and receiving countless requests, I take great pride in launching a range of 136 (sic) finely ground watercolours. These watercolours will amaze with their colour strength, vibrance, clarity and longevity!”

Notes: There seems to be a few inconsistencies with the pigment codes of this brand of paints. There are mismatches between the pigment codes listed in some of the colors with the pigment codes listed on their swatches. They also list PB50, which likely doesn’t exist. So for now, I have taken what they said on their website (not their swatches) as reference until I know further.
