Schmincke Mystery Box Acrylic is a special, limited-edition acrylic paint set featuring colors from Schmincke’s three popular series: PRIMAcryl, AKADEMIE Acrylic, and College Acrylic. The set combines superior artistic quality with an element of surprise and is perfect for both experienced artists and those who want to discover the differences between Schmincke’s acrylic paint series.
The set contains eight tubes of various sizes: two tubes of titanium white, one tube of black, and five randomly selected colors in various shades. Since the five colors are randomly selected from the three series, the exact contents vary from set to set, and therefore no fixed color numbers or pigment codes can be provided for the entire range. All paints are water-based, quick-drying, and water-resistant once dry.
The PRIMAcryl series represents Schmincke’s highest professional artist-grade quality, known for its rich pigmentation and even drying without color shift. AKADEMIE Acryl Color offers clear, user-friendly shades suitable for both beginners and advanced artists, while College Acryl delivers reliable student-grade quality with excellent performance at an affordable price.
Schmincke Mystery Box Acrylic comes in an elegant, limited-edition collector's set and is an inspiring choice for artists, students, or anyone who wants to explore the rich diversity of Schmincke's world of acrylic paints.

About Schmincke
Schmincke was founded in 1881 by the paint chemists Josef Horadam and Hermann Schmincke in Germany. The company’s first product was the oil paint “Mussini,” developed based on traditional resin-oil paint recipes from the Italian artist Cesare Mussini. In 1892, Josef Horadam developed a new type of liquid-cast watercolor, which he named after himself—the cornerstone of what is now the Horadam Aquarell series. More than 140 years later, Schmincke is still guided by the company motto “Meliora cogito” (I strive for the best), and Horadam Aquarell remains one of the most highly regarded watercolor lines among professional artists worldwide.
