I personally think tupperware type containers makes the most sense since they seal out air that drys out paint.

Elmo, Thank you. I wish I had known about this forum when I just started using watercolours some months ago. Now I shall beg for help on techniques as well.

Pattygrafton and marie, I thought about using small tupperware pots, but all the rest of the tubes fall out of order. I had a look at the tackle boxes on the internet; they have foam to hold things. I am warming up to this idea.

I use a 1 lb. round margarine tub. Since I have about 20 tubes of paint, I can fill it completely and have the tubes stand upright.

That sounds like a good idea; I shall explore this idea further.

I use very plain fishing boxes. I believe they are ordinarily used for storing lures. (I don't know anything about fishing.) They are really cheap, and they are the perfect size for paint tubes.

There are all manner of brush and bottle storage boxes, carousels in the market, I haven't found any trays/boxes for watercolour paint tubes. Any suggestions?
