36RCW#3.00, Mussini Naples Yellow Deep, Opaque


Opposite color, Mussini Cobalt Blue Light, Opaque

Naples Yellow is made of antimony lead, the highter it is fired the lighter it gets and the more expensive it is. There were about six shades of Naples Yellow that were popular, from a greenish tint to this redish tint. Naples Yellow is and was a basic flesh tone. 

Because it was so expensive Lead-Tin Yellow was a replacement during hard times, as when Rembrandt was alive. Today it is usually just a composition color and not nearly as opaque.  If you're worth it get it.
