It is an excellent idea to take notes of the colors your are using in a watercolor painting.
This is a great thing to practice if you are new to watercolor painting. It will help you remember your colors and color mixtures. You can always refer back to your notes in the future if you want to know "How did I mix that color?"
If you are working on a project that will take more than a few days, having color notes to reference over a period of time is very helpful. Especially if you have several reds or blues that look the same in the palette but paint very differently on paper.
Paint a swash of color and write down the name of the color. If you have that color in more than one brand, remember to add the brand to your notes. If you're mixing two colors together, make note of the two colors you mixed to achieve that color.
I love to take notes and I save them for future reference.

Great idea! I have found this to be very helpful - and missed having the information when I have forgotten to do it!
