This is a monoazo yellow pigment with a reddish hue, almost an orange. Pigments like these started being produced in around 1910. Though we list this pigment as having “very good” lightfastness, it performs at the upper end of the “very good” category and is close to being “excellent”. It is a pigment often used in industrial coatings applications such as steel safety barriers or highway signs because it is priced economically yet can withstand outdoor conditions without fading. This colour is very transparent and has a surprisingly less orange undertone when used as a wash, a glaze or mixed with white. We have had this pigment available for a long time and have found it to be very useful, particularly for mixes where glazing in orange or deep yellow are required. It is easy to make a very transparent brown glaze with this colour.
