EDITED in May 2021: This video was made years ago, and I did not know many things I know now.
If you're interested in a more updated review of palettes, or more information on choosing a great starter set, I suggest checking out updated reviews

In this video I will be comparing 3 sets of watercolors. The reason I chose these sets, is that all 3 have a wide selection of paints, and could be used as one's go to palette for many years.
Be mindful that this video is aimed towards hobbists, as these sets are different in their purposes and qualities.
Winsor & Newton Cotman is student grade, Gansai Tambi are Japanese watercolors and therefore different in qualities (more opaque for example), White Nights are artist grade.
For a more informed decision I recommend doing more research on these sets.
The opinions presented here are my own, based on my needs, and my preferences.
*EDITED** since posting this video the prices of these sets have significantly changed, so take that under consideration before purchasing any set.
