Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S2 - Naples Yellow

Capture timeless warmth and classical elegance with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Naples Yellow (Colour No. 229, Series 2). This opaque, soft yellow beautifully imitates the appearance of the original yet toxic lead-based Naples Yellow, using safe, inorganic pigments that deliver the same creamy tone and strong covering power. Perfect for portraits, sunlit landscapes, and muted highlights, this colour adds subtle warmth and balance to any palette.

Formulated from a refined blend of Titanium Dioxide, Rutile Nickel-Tin-Titanium, and Chromium-Antimony-Titanium Yellow (PW6, PY53, PBr24), this paint provides excellent opacity, good lightfastness, and a smooth, even texture. Its gentle warmth and high coverage make it a versatile mixer, ideal for creating natural skin tones, aged stone hues, and soft pastel effects.

Each Horadam Aquarell colour is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and carefully tested for stability, resolubility, and consistency. Once dried on the palette, the colour rewets effortlessly, preserving its creamy opacity and subtle luminosity.

With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment colours for pure, clean mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to represent the highest standard of artist-grade watercolour excellence.

Naples Yellow (Series 2) is a classic opaque warm yellow with exceptional coverage and softness, ideal for artists seeking traditional depth and modern safety in one refined, beautifully balanced pigment.
