Old Holland
Gamboge Lake Extra

Synthetic Gamboge is a translucent tint,
original is the color of ear wax.
#2 of 3

Mussini Ultramarine Light
Opposite color Mussini Ultramarine Dark Translucent


You can't make a dark neutral with translucent Gamboge Lake Extra plus it's opposite transparent Mussini Ultramarine Dark translucent.

The problem with gamboge is that it is translucent and as a yellow and a tint you can't make a pure stronger yellow hue. This was one of the original transparent yellows that was quickly replaced. It's just an extra color you don't need.  Transparent Nickel Indian yellow is a better color all around.
