A company called RichArt produces a line of acrylic paints in 2-ounce and 4-ounce bottles, apparently aimed at the child crafts market. The range includes eighteen primary colors, as well as additional fluorescent colors.
The primary colors are:
- black
- cobalt blue
- deep blue
- deep brown
- deep green
- deep yellow
- light green
- magenta
- medium green
- orange
- pithalo blue
- red oxide
- scarlet
- vermillion
- violet
- white
- yellow
- yellow oxide
These paints can now be found at Dollar Tree, but only in the 4-ounnce bottles, and only in certain colors. The company website lists five colors: white, light green, deep/dark green, violet, and scarlet. (But I know they also have black, because I've bought some.)
Quality seems good, and you can't beat the price. Older bottles have screw-type caps, but the new ones have flip-top caps for easy dispensing.
