Daniel Smith declares "watercolours have 5 year shelf life"

Trying to put together a new palette with my larger pans in the small cardholder palette, I pulled out my greens.

Would I include a green?

And if so, which?

It turns out that both my Rich Green Gold & Genuine Malachite are harder than rocks.

Daniel Smith apparently keeps records, and they say I bought these in 2004.

It is my first experience with a watercolour.

The service representative's advice: put in a safe container and dilute with water.  I have my doubts this will work.
