Series 4

It is a beautiful primrose-yellow colour that combines permanence with opacity. The zinc component makes this pale yellow slightly less lightfast than pure cadmium yellow, but it is still more permanent than most pigments dream of striving to be. The colour is very similar to Lead-Tin Yellow, used in the late Renaissance and Mannerist periods and was the only reliably permanent bright yellow available to the old masters.

Cadmium Yellow Light has a colour close to that of primary yellow and helps mix a wide range of colours. The natural world is full of ochre and brown colours, and greens are everywhere, from dull dark olive greens to light yellowy greens where the sun brushes across foliage. Cadmium Yellow Light is the ideal yellow for working with this wide whole colour suite ranging from earth tones to the brightest light greens.
