567 Naples Yellow Hue

• PY1 ^{●●●●●}

Naples yellow is mentioned by Cennino Cennini but it is not clear when it first appeared. Genuine Naples yellow is a lead antimonite, which had been widely over previous centuries, and its properties are now being rediscovered. However, due to its toxicity, we offer this zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and monoazo yellow based substitute. This composition produces a lightfast luminous yellow. The colour produces a fine dense paste. Used for oil, watercolour, tempera, acrylic, etc. painting. Not recommended for the fresco technique.
