Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue PY53, PY83 Nuance de Jaune de Cadmium

Safe, Vibrant Cadmium Hue Watercolours! The new formulas provide all the density and richness of classic cadmium colours. The hues are virtually identical in colour to their namesakes but are cleaner in mixtures and more robust in tints—you’ll find that a little goes a long way.

The working properties—staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent light fastness—are also nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colours we previously offered.

DANIEL SMITH is truly the world leader in watercolours for artists. Its watercolours contain more beautiful colours than those of any other manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by all artists, and many “truly unique” colours made only by DANIEL SMITH have become essential to watercolour artists.

PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into them. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998; since then, many more have been added, including Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have excellent granulating effects that some artists have called “magical.”

Luminescent Watercolours have special optical effects, making them perfect for subjects with sparkle, sheen, or a reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colours without the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in colour to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much more robust in tints. The working properties—staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness—are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colours that DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Other Unique Watercolours are created from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations, colours such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre. Some are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, such as Cascade Green, Deep Sap Green, and Green Gold.

DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to create colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Eco-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more choices.
