Lemon Yellow is the clean, cool-leaning yellow every mixing palette needs. Used neat it gives a bright, punchy yellow with real clarity; cut with white it fades to a soft, sunny undertone, and laid thin as a filter it warms up sandy bases without turning muddy. It's the yellow that keeps other yellows honest.

Best for

• Bright, clean yellow highlights and accents
• Soft fades when mixed with white
• Filters over sand-toned bases
• Freshening up warm colour mixes

A little goes a long way — glaze it thin over a sand base and watch the whole model warm up without losing definition.

Bright, clean and endlessly mixable. Thin it with white spirit and browse the rest of the oil paints range to build out your palette.
