Description
Cadmium Yellow Light.
Powerful, dense, brightness.
The swatch gives the appearance of leaning more towards green than the reality, it does lean that way but not quite as much as the image, it is a bit like Naples yellow in hue, the second tube image is more accurate.
It is also significantly brighter to my eye, it's tints are vibrant, light, almost lemon yellows but a little warmer.
I generally use Cadmium Yellow to brighten and add 'punch' to mixes and find the midrange Cadmium Yellows lean too much towards orange this is perfect, being light but not leaning too much to green either. It is very highly saturated and is a powerful tinter of mixes. Plenty of body and quite dense in handling.
Treat yourself...you will never look back!
