Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Primary Yellow

Primary Yellow is a Series 1, semi-transparent acrylic colour crafted from a precise blend of Arylide Yellow (PY3/PY74) and a trace of Titanium Dioxide (PW6). Designed to function as a core primary in colour theory and practice, this vivid yellow is perfectly positioned at the centre of the yellow spectrum ideal for creating a full range of secondary and tertiary colours.

Although a single pigment cannot fully meet the theoretical ideal of a primary yellow, Matisse’s formulation achieves exceptional balance and brightness. It’s a must-have for educators and artists using reduced palettes to explore colour mixing. Its versatility shows in mixtures:

• With Cadmium Red: yields intense desert orange tones
• With Phthalo Blue: produces bright, tropical greens
• With Primary Red and Blue: supports broad-spectrum CMY systems
• With Titanium White or Black: creates luminous tints and neutralized shades

Whether you're practising foundational colour blending or developing refined studio work, Primary Yellow offers clarity, vibrancy, and excellent value for artists at any level.

Available in the following sizes: 120ml & 500ml (sold separately)
