What is the lightfastness rating of these paints? Can I mix them with other acrylic paints, like soft body acrylics?

The lightfastness varies from color to color, but they are generally within ASTM I-II, Excellent and Very Good Lightfastness. You could mix them with other paints, but that will take away from the matte finish.

Can this be used on wood?

I use gessobord for my paintings. Essentially the same thing as wood substrates. Plus, acrylic paints generally do well on wood.

Is this the 12 set? The description says six set but i pushed on the 12 essentials set?

The product photo displayed by Amazon reflects it is the 12 piece set. I purchased the six piece set, the SKU for which is 3699323, a different set identified by means of the difference in SKU. I hope this helps.

Is this truly gouache or a "matte" acrylic? How does it compare to holbein acrylic gouache?

It truly is. Quite honestly, I have used both Holbein and Golden matte acrylics and out of all three, Liquitex has a much better consistency, fluidity, longer working time, and a beautiful velvet matte texture.
