English Yellow

A bold, bright primary yellow with a hint of chartreuse. Clean and bright with Clear Soft Wax or softened with Dark Soft Wax.

This clean yellow was particularly popular in English 18th Century decoration inspired by hand-painted Chinese wallpaper and the development of Chrome Yellow pigment. It was the first non earthy yellow. In the 1950s this yellow became popular as a strong primrose. It can be mixed with Antibes Green to make lime green.
