Cadmium Yellow - 40ml

Cadmium Yellow, well not much introduction needed here...the mixing yellow on pretty much every artist's palette since it's arrival around the turn of the last century.

However as a painter I can say not all Cadmium yellows are the same, even avoiding the hues constructed out of different pigments and the tubes full of fillers, binders etc. which we would never sell on this site, the temperature of the quality cadmium yellows varies a lot.

This particular tube is on the cool end of the spectrum.

Langridge's description;

"The Langridge Cadmium Yellow veers towards pale without being too lemon, retaining some of that orangey heat. A good pigment load gives this yellow the opacity and short, buttery consistency that artists have come to know and love from cadmiums."
