Michael Harding Artists Oil Colours - Indian Yellow (No. 203) - 40ml

Diarylide Yellow is a synthetic organic Lake that replaces uric acid, which was made by warming the urine of Indian cows fed on mango leaves. This modern, organic equivalent matches the beauty of the original colour, used for centuries in Mughal miniatures, but it has greater tint power and reliability. When brushed thinly over hued backgrounds, it presents a vibrant and warm mustard yellow. Please note that Michael Harding's Indian Yellow is not made with animal waste.
