201. Cadmium yellow medium
Cadmium Yellow Medium is a rich, vibrant mid-yellow with a distinctly warm undertone. Compared with Cadmium Yellow Light, it has a deeper, fuller colour character, shifting closer to a classic sunlit yellow while retaining excellent clarity and intensity.
The paint is opaque, with high tinting strength, allowing it to exert a strong influence on colour mixtures even in small amounts. It spreads evenly across the surface, while its rich consistency makes it equally suitable for creating smooth painterly transitions, retaining expressive brushstrokes, or working in impasto. Ideal for creating saturated highlights, mixing with reds to produce vivid oranges, with blues for warmer natural greens, and with violets for more complex muted and neutral mixtures.
