Description

Green Gold (P.Y 129) is a luminous yellow-green pigment prized for its radiant transparency and natural versatility. Shifting effortlessly from golden yellow to earthy green, it captures the warmth of sunlight and the freshness of foliage in a single, glowing hue.

This **semi-transparent** pigment is ideal for glazing, layering, and atmospheric washes. At full strength, it offers a rich, almost metallic green-gold tone, while diluted it softens into golden hues or pale, grassy greens—perfect for capturing sunlit landscapes, botanical studies, or natural light effects.

Green Gold is especially valuable in landscape painting for adding vibrant highlights to leaves, grasses, or sun-dappled areas. It blends beautifully with blues to create luminous spring greens and with warm earths or reds to generate subtle, natural transitions.

Its **medium staining** character allows for good control in lifting and layering. With **no granulation** and a smooth flow, it offers clean, even coverage that enhances detail work and luminous effects. This pigment is a favourite among artists who want to add warmth, energy, and natural light to their palette.

Green Gold is lightfast (AAA), ensuring your work maintains its vibrancy and integrity over time.
