Blue is *not* washable!
I use the simply washable temperas by the gallon, re-ordering every couple of months, and have been pleased up until my last batch. I ordered the primary colors and let the kids mix them in bulk, expecting clean up to be as easy as it usually has been. Unfortunately, I found out too late that the ...blue paint doesn't wash out. I don't know if they changed the formula or what, because I didn't have trouble with it last year, but I now have blue paint stains on the walls and door frames children touched as they went in to wash their hands. I had professional painters come in to try and remove them, but since it is a dye there is nothing they can do but repaint. Another class used the blue and purple for foot painting, and discovered it stains skin as well! It does, for the most part, seem to come out of clothing, but not much else. I considered sending it back, but it's still the least expensive tempera on the market. It's probably worth the cost, but plan on stains!

Generally good, with a few exceptions
Most of the colors are good, but I have had problems with three in particular. The turquoise separates and liquifies, while the black and brown change color. They were not old when this happened. I have started buying the name brand paint for these colors with better results, but the good colors ...in Colorations to save money.

This paint is brilliantly colored if not completely washable. Wipes clean off most surfaces with a magic eraser!
Exceptional!
