Description:
Diarylide Yellow is a vibrant, warm watercolour pigment that offers an intense, golden-yellow hue with a slightly orange undertone. Known for its brilliant saturation and strong tinting strength, Diarylide Yellow creates bold, eye-catching washes and is perfect for painting bright sunlight, flowers, or autumn leaves. Its warm, golden glow makes it ideal for compositions that require energy and radiance, adding a cheerful and inviting quality to the artwork.
The pigment has a semi-transparent quality, allowing it to be layered in glazes or used in more concentrated applications for rich, opaque strokes. It mixes beautifully with reds to create vibrant oranges or with blues to produce vivid greens, offering a wide range of colour possibilities. Diarylide Yellow is especially effective in mixing warm, natural tones for landscapes and botanical scenes.
Diarylide Yellow is also known for its excellent lightfastness, ensuring that the vividness of the colour remains stable and doesn't fade over time. Its strong opacity, bright colour, and versatility make it a popular choice for artists looking to achieve bold, sunny highlights or intense mixes. Whether used alone or blended with other colours, Diarylide Yellow brings warmth and brilliance to any watercolour palette.
