Description:

Cadmium Lemon is a vivid, bright yellow watercolour pigment known for its striking intensity and opacity. With a cool undertone, this vibrant hue captures the essence of sunlight and brings a fresh, cheerful quality to any composition. Cadmium Lemon is particularly prized for its ability to create brilliant highlights and is an excellent choice for depicting the bright colours of flowers, citrus fruits, and sunny landscapes.

The pigment's strong tinting strength allows for vibrant mixes, making it easy to achieve a wide range of shades from warm yellows to lively greens when blended with blues. Its opaque nature provides good coverage, enabling artists to apply it confidently in both washes and detailed work without losing luminosity.

Cadmium Lemon is highly regarded for its excellent lightfastness, ensuring that the colour remains stable and bright over time. Artists often appreciate its versatility, as it can stand alone in bold applications or be mixed with other colours to create soft, nuanced tones. Whether used in vibrant compositions or to add pops of brightness, Cadmium Lemon is a staple in many watercolour palettes, bringing a radiant energy to artwork.
