Description:

Naples Yellow Dark is a rich, warm yellow watercolour pigment with an earthy, golden undertone. This deeper version of the classic Naples Yellow offers a more intense, ochre-like warmth, making it ideal for capturing sunlight, autumnal landscapes, or creating strong highlights in portraits. The colour has a slightly muted, almost honeyed tone, which gives it a natural, aged feel, perfect for classical themes or grounding compositions with a sense of history.

Naples Yellow Dark is semi-opaque, allowing for good coverage while still blending smoothly with other colours. Its warmth makes it a wonderful mixer, particularly with cool blues and greens to create beautiful, natural browns and olive tones. It also works well with reds and oranges to enhance fiery, golden hues.

This pigment is highly valued for its lightfastness and durability, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting work. Whether you're painting landscapes, still lives, or capturing the golden glow of evening light, Naples Yellow Dark adds depth, richness, and warmth to any watercolour palette. Its versatile tone, reminiscent of earthy yellows and ochres, is perfect for creating warm, harmonious colour schemes.
