Tubes Winsor

Do watercolor paints degrade with age?
I have a nice big pallette of watercolor paints that I squeezed from tubes a long time ago. They were expensive at the time -- Winsor & Newton. But the paints are all probably 20 years old now. Should I try painting with them, or will the pigments be unstable in some way? Should I just get new paints?
As long as the paint has not been exposed to UV light (daylight), excessive heat, or moisture, it should be ok. Those are the only things that would degrade most pigments.
