203. Cadmium lemon
Cadmium Lemon is a bright, clean yellow with a cool undertone, though softer and slightly warmer than both Strontium Yellow and Bismuth Yellow. The colour is highly saturated, rich, and expressive, retaining its clarity both when used on its own and in mixtures.
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 bright highlights, mixing with greens to create fresh natural hues, with reds for clean luminous oranges, with blues for vibrant green mixtures, and with violets for more complex muted and neutral tones.
