Description

Cadmium Orange is a bold, warm watercolour pigment known for its vibrant, fiery hue and excellent opacity. This rich red-orange tone is perfect for capturing the warmth of autumn leaves, sunsets, and lively florals. Its intense saturation allows it to stand out on 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 glowing, bright oranges or with reds for deeper, fiery tones. When combined with cool colours like blues or greens, it creates more muted, earthy shades, adding versatility to your palette.

Highly valued for its lightfastness and durability, Cadmium Orange retains its vibrant hue over time without fading, ensuring the longevity of your artwork. Whether used in saturated strokes or mixed for subtler tones, this pigment brings warmth, energy, and brilliance to your watercolour paintings, making it essential for artists looking to capture intense sunlit scenes or create dynamic warm colour schemes.
