The 24-colour HTP-24 open, with its two rows of 6 ml tubes and the printed shade strip on the lid.
Description
Pentel's tube watercolour in the yellow box with the seaside town painting on the lid, sold in two sizes. The front prints the count and tube size together — 12 Colors / 6ml or 24 Colors / 6ml — and the box code sits in the corner: HTP-12 for the smaller set, HTP-24 for the larger. Along the bottom edge of each lid runs a printed strip of colour dots with the shade names beneath them, so you can see the palette before you open it.
Tube watercolour behaves differently from the pans most people start with. A pan needs working with a wet brush to lift enough pigment for a strong wash; a tube gives you soft colour straight out, so you can mix a large quantity at full strength in one go. For anything bigger than a postcard, that is the difference between a flat even sky and a patchy one.
Now the part that decides which box to buy, and it is unusually clear-cut. The HTP-12 is Rs. 900 for twelve 6 ml tubes; the HTP-24 is Rs. 2,450 for twenty-four. That is Rs. 75 a tube against Rs. 102.08, or Rs. 12.50 a millilitre against Rs. 17.01. The larger box is **36% more expensive** on both measures. Doubling the colour count here costs you well over double the money.
So buy the HTP-24 only if you specifically want those extra twelve shades. If you are buying watercolour to learn with, the HTP-12 is both the cheaper box and the better teacher — twelve tubes force you to mix your greens and greys rather than reach for a ready-made one, and watercolour mixing is most of the skill.
The tubes are white plastic with coloured caps, seated in a fitted white tray — one row of twelve in the HTP-12, two rows in the HTP-24. Six millilitres is a small tube, but watercolour is used far more sparingly than acrylic; a 6 ml tube of a colour you use for washes will outlast a 12 ml tube of acrylic used for covering.

FAQs
Which Pentel Water Colors box is better value?
The 12-colour HTP-12, clearly. The Pentel Water Colors set is Rs. 75 a tube at twelve colours and Rs. 102.08 at twenty-four — the larger box costs 36% more per tube and per millilitre.
What is the difference between HTP-12 and HTP-24?
Only the colour count and the price. Both Pentel Water Colors boxes use the same 6 ml tubes in the same yellow seaside packaging; HTP-12 holds twelve in one row and HTP-24 holds twenty-four in two.
How is tube watercolour different from a pan set?
A pan needs scrubbing with a wet brush to lift strong colour. The Pentel Water Colors set gives you soft paint straight from the tube, so you can mix a large wash at full strength in one go — which matters for skies and washes.
Should a beginner buy the 24?
Probably not. The twelve-colour Pentel Water Colors set is cheaper and forces you to mix your own greens and greys, which is most of what learning watercolour actually involves. Buy the 24 if you want those specific extra shades.
Is 6 ml a very small tube?
It sounds small but watercolour is used sparingly. A 6 ml tube from the Pentel Water Colors set, diluted for washes, will outlast a 12 ml tube of acrylic used for covering a surface.
How do I know which colours are in the box?
They are printed on the lid. Each Pentel Water Colors box carries a strip of colour dots along its bottom edge with the shade name beneath every one, so the palette is visible before you open it.
What paper should I use?
Proper watercolour paper, not copier paper. The Pentel Water Colors set needs a sheet that can take water without buckling — anything from 200 gsm upward will behave far better than cartridge paper.
Is it suitable for children?
We list the Pentel Water Colors set from 8 years up. Watercolour washes out of most fabrics far more readily than acrylic, which makes it a more forgiving medium for school work.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Pentel Water Colors Set 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, including which box size you want. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
