Warm yellow, warm red, blue, ochre, earth brown and white — chosen so most other colours can be mixed from them.

The striped Aquafine starter box with the six tubes seated in their moulded white tray in front of it.
Description
Six tubes, chosen so you can mix nearly everything else. The starter box holds Titanium White 009, Cadmium Yellow Hue 620, Cadmium Red Hue 503, Ultramarine Blue 123, Yellow Ochre 663 and Burnt Umber 223 — a warm yellow, a warm red, a blue, an earth yellow, an earth brown and a white. That is a deliberate mixing palette, not six colours picked to look pretty on a shelf, and it is the standard way to learn a paint properly.
Before you order it, read this. Every one of those six tubes is also inside our Aquafine Gouache Introduction Set of 12 at Rs. 10,600. If you buy this six now and later decide you want the fuller palette, you will be paying a second time for six tubes you already own. This set is the right purchase when six is genuinely where you intend to stop, or when Rs. 5,350 is the budget and Rs. 10,600 is not.
There is no per-tube penalty for choosing the smaller box, which is unusual and worth knowing. Rs. 5,350 for six is Rs. 891.67 a tube against Rs. 883.33 in the twelve — under one percent apart. Daler-Rowney has not priced the starter set as a sample; you are paying essentially the same per tube either way.
The box is printed STARTER SET, with SET D'INITIATION, ANFÄNGERSET and SET DE INICIACIÓN beneath it, and the tubes sit in a moulded white tray. Each carries its shade name, its catalogue number and a row of stars giving the maker's permanence rating, so a tube you run dry can be replaced by exactly the same thing rather than by something approximate.
Gouache is opaque watercolour. It covers what is under it and dries matte, and it lifts again with water once dry, so paint left on a palette overnight is not lost. That combination — coverable, matte, reworkable — is why illustrators and designers use it where a transparent watercolour would not hold.
It suits art and design students from about 12 years up. The Safencia price is Rs. 5,350 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Stock, your city, and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.

FAQs
Which six shades are in the Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6?
Titanium White 009, Cadmium Yellow Hue 620, Cadmium Red Hue 503, Ultramarine Blue 123, Yellow Ochre 663 and Burnt Umber 223 — a mixing palette rather than an assortment.
Should I buy this or go straight to the set of 12?
Every tube in the Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 is also inside our Set of 12, so if you expect to want a fuller palette later, buy the twelve now. Choose the six when six is where you intend to stop or when the budget decides it.
Is the smaller box more expensive per tube?
Barely. The Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 is Rs. 891.67 a tube against Rs. 883.33 in the twelve, under one percent apart — unusual, since smaller sets are normally priced at a premium.
Can six colours really be enough?
For learning, yes. The Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 gives a warm yellow, a warm red, a blue, an ochre, an earth brown and a white, which mixes a very wide range — what it will not give you is a ready-made green or violet.
What does the permanence rating on each tube mean?
It is the maker's own assessment of how well that shade should hold up over time, printed as stars. Every tube in the Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 carries its own, so the rating is per colour rather than for the set.
Does gouache work on watercolour paper?
It is a water-based paint, so watercolour paper suits it well. The Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 lays down more thickly than watercolour, and a heavier sheet handles that better than a thin one.
What happens if a tube dries out?
Cap the tubes firmly and store them nozzle up. Gouache from the Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 hardens if air reaches it in the tube, and unlike paint dried on a palette that hardening is not reversible.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Aquafine Gouache Starter Set of 6 in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
