Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Cadmium Yellow (Hue)

Inspired by the brilliance of its cadmium-based predecessor, Cad Yellow (Hue) by Matisse Studio offers artists a vibrant golden yellow with outstanding versatility and permanence. Made from a blend of Arylide Yellow (PY74) and Titanium Dioxide (PW6), this Series 1 hue delivers the warmth and mixing power of traditional cadmium yellow without the associated toxicity.

Cadmium Yellow was first developed in 1817 but only gained popularity in the late 19th century when artists like Monet used it to immortalize golden sunlight in their landscapes. Matisse Studio Cad Yellow (Hue) continues that legacy with a semi-transparent finish and ASTM I lightfastness, ensuring colour longevity for generations.

This radiant yellow is perfect for mixing. Pair it with Naphthol Light Red or Pyrrole Orange for fiery oranges, or combine with ochres and browns to brighten and warm natural landscapes. It lifts darker earth tones and makes a reliable foundation for floral compositions, sunlit scenes, and high-impact highlights.

Perfect For:

• Natural light effects and landscapes
• Bold yellow and orange mixes
• Floral and still life paintings
• Artists seeking cadmium alternatives
