Cadmium yellow deep

Cadmium yellow deep in watercolor is a vibrant and deep hue, ideal for rich and intense renditions. Its warm color, between golden yellow and orange, offers exceptional luminosity, perfect for creating bright lights, sunlit reflections, or volumetric effects in your artworks.
Cadmium yellow deep blends wonderfully with Scarlett red to achieve warm peach or orange tones. Paired with ultramarine blue, it produces dark, deep greens. For earthy effects, try mixing it with burnt sienna, creating rich, textured earth tones. Its high opacity makes it ideal for applications where partial opacity is desired.
This pigment is especially valued for its great permanence and lightfastness, ensuring that your creations will retain their brilliance over time.
Cadmium yellow was developed in the 19th century, following the discovery of cadmium-based pigments, a rare metal. This pigment was quickly adopted in the world of painting for its chromatic richness and its ability to resist fading.

This shade contains cadmium, and its use in watercolor is safe under normal conditions (do not ingest).
