Series 2

Yellow Deep belongs to the category of diarylide pigments, a classification indicating a doubling of carbon and hydrogen atoms in the colour molecule. This chemical alteration not only modifies the colour slightly but also enhances lightfastness. This class of pigments, including Yellow Deep, emerged largely from extensive research invested in finding new automotive colours since the 1960s. Artists owe a debt of gratitude to the automotive industry, as any colour deemed suitable for cars, exposed to intense sunlight for years, assures ample lightfastness for artists' paints.
