Acrylic Pouring Paint Density Figures

As a follow-up to my previous post, I thought I'd give y'all the actual figures I've gathered for density information about paints/pigments. This lists all the single-pigment paints I have pigment information about, grouped by brand, ordered by density. Note that I was not able to find any official transparency information about Global High Flow Acrylics. Note also that the figures are approximate, not exact.

Series: The "series" of a paint (or pigment) is the price-bracket it is in. The higher the series, the more expensive the paint. This is because some pigments are harder to prepare or find than others. Note that Global High Flow Acrylics, Liquitex Basics Acrylics, and Sennelier Abstract Acrylics only have Series-1 paints. That's how they manage to be cheaper than the others: they use only the less-expensive pigments. Likewise, the Jo Sonja Acrylics only go up to Series 3, while the remaining brands go higher than that.
