Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S2 - Chromium Yellow Hue Light

Illuminate your artwork with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Chromium Yellow Hue Light (Colour No. 212, Series 2). This highly transparent light yellow captures a delicate, luminous tone that brings warmth and clarity to your compositions. Formulated as a non-polluting, heavy metal–free alternative to the original Chrome Yellow Light, it provides the same brilliance and versatility with a safer, modern formulation.

Made from a mixture of two organic pigments – PY153 and PY155 (Metal Complex and Disazo Pigment) – this shade offers balanced transparency, fair lightfastness, and smooth, even flow. Its fluid handling makes it perfect for glazing, layering, and achieving clean transitions in both delicate and high-intensity washes.

Each Schmincke Horadam paint is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and meticulously tested for consistency, stability, and reusability. Once dried on the palette, it rewets effortlessly, allowing artists to maintain smooth, controlled applications across various paper types.

With over 150 professional colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues for precise, clean mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to define premium quality in fine watercolour craftsmanship.

Chromium Yellow Hue Light (Series 2) is transparent, light, and naturally radiant, making it a superb choice for artists who value luminous washes, soft glazes, and modern, eco-friendly pigment formulations.
