Description:

Cadmium Orange is a bold, warm watercolour pigment known for its vibrant, fiery hue and excellent opacity. With a rich red-orange tone, this pigment is perfect for capturing the warmth of autumn leaves, sunsets, and lively florals. Its intense saturation allows it to stand out on the paper, making it ideal for creating bright, eye-catching highlights or focal points in compositions.

Cadmium Orange has a smooth consistency and provides excellent coverage, making it perfect for bold applications as well as blending with other colours. It mixes beautifully with yellows for bright, glowing oranges or with reds for deep, fiery tones. When combined with cool colours like blues or greens, it creates more muted, earthy shades, making it a versatile addition to any palette.

Highly valued for its lightfastness and durability, Cadmium Orange maintains its vibrant hue over time without fading, ensuring the longevity of the artwork. Whether used in vibrant, saturated strokes or mixed for subtle tones, Cadmium Orange brings warmth, energy, and brilliance to any watercolour painting, making it a staple for artists looking to capture intense, sunlit scenes or create dynamic, warm colour schemes.
