How Much Do Acrylic Paints Cost per Liter? Price Comparison
In short: Acrylic paint in a large pack is the cheapest option. Kompozit STANDART 500 ml costs about €11.60 per liter, and Solo Goya TRITON 750 ml costs about €12.27. Small tubes and professional lines cost several times more per liter, but offer more pigment and greater lightfastness. Prices are valid as of 28 September 2026. Always check the current price on the product page.
Why Compare the Price per Liter?
Acrylic paints are sold in tubes ranging from 20 ml to 750 ml and larger, so the price per pack can be misleading. A €3 tube may cost more per liter than a €10 bottle. That’s why we calculated the price per liter for ARTMiE’s best-selling acrylic paints (for paints sold by weight, we calculated the price per kilogram), using the best-value pack currently in stock.

Is It Worth Buying a Set of Acrylic Paints?
A set gives you many shades at once for a reasonable price, making it suitable for beginners or as a gift. The price per liter is higher than for large packs:
| Paint | Pack size | Price | Price per liter / kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau Fine Art Acrylic Paint Set 18 x 36 ml | 648 ml | €14.99 | €23.13 / l |
| ACRYL PRO Kompozit Acrylic Paint Set 12x20 ml | 240 ml | €12.60 | €52.50 / l |
| ACRYL PRO Kompozit Metallic Acrylic Paint Set 12x20 ml | 240 ml | €14.49 | €60.38 / l |

| Solo Goya Acrylic Paint Set 32 x 20 ml | 640 ml | €43.90 | €68.59 / l |
Is More Expensive Acrylic Paint Better?
A higher price per liter usually means more pigment, greater lightfastness, and less color shift after drying. Save professional lines such as Schmincke PRIMAcryl for final layers and details. For underpainting, large areas, pouring, or practice, value-sized packs are enough, such as Kompozit STANDART 500 ml or Solo Goya TRITON 750 ml. A good middle ground is Kompozit ACRYL PRO ART 430 ml, which we sell exclusively in Slovakia.
How to Save on Acrylic Paints
- Buy the paints you use most (white, black, and primary shades) in larger packs.
- Save expensive professional shades for areas where the paint is most visible.
- Use cheaper paint or gesso for the base, not expensive pigment.
- Keep the paint on your palette moist so less of it dries out and gets thrown away.

Compare the Price per Liter, Not per Tube
Use a large pack for areas and underpainting, and higher-quality tubes for details. This way, you get the most paint for your money.
