Another page about transparent yellow is indianyellowtobrownPY153.htm

This transparent yellow pigment is in my pigment spraying 52" plotter.
I've used it as the water-based primary transparent yellow pigment ink since 5-11-9.
I made Tartrazine acrylic paint, white and black transparent tests in: indianyellowtobrownPY153.htm
The acrylic tartrazine didn't work and the opera paints pigment was ground too large and didn't work.
The ink and water color paints do work well.

Tartrazine Yellow

The first important yellow found and used by artists was arsenic orpiment, it was the first transparent yellow and smells worse than the original Indian yellow.
Orpiment's color is red-brown, orange-yellow and yellow. Crystals are translucent to transparent. The darkest colors will lighten to the lightest color with water.

PR101 + PY12*, Indian yellow by ShinHan (a great new paint manufacture of oil, acrylic and W/c paints) http://www.art-paints.com/Paints/Oil/Utrecht/Indian-Yellow/Indian-Yellow.html (and) http://art-paints.com/Paints/Watercolor/Daniel-Smith/Extra-Fine/Indian-Yellow/Indian-Yellow.html.
Notice that they sell from US suppliers. I used their Indian yellow oil color and it is perfect. They make this color in oil, W/c and acrylic. They are also the best supplier of Opera magenta (I can't seem to get it yet), their best because the pigment is a smaller size than other manufactures.

Orpiment was the first transparent dual-toned yellow than gamboge.
Gamboge is the color of dried ear wax in its mass-tone, milked from a tree called Garcinia hanburyi.
Buckthorn was another tranparent yellow lost when the Original Indian Yellow replaced them.

Turmeric is another dual-toned transparent yellow and it was cheap, Original Indian Yellow replaced it because it was more permanent.

NY6, Saffron, Color dye extracted from the stigmas Crocus Sativa then precipitated onto lake base. Permanent.
Transparent orange to yellow Saffron from the blue crocus flower was expensive, 170,000 flowers equals 1 kilo of saffron. (quote, Iran)
