Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

We’ve done it! Safe, Vibrant Cadmium Hue Watercolors!

Our DANIEL SMITH Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue Extra Fine Watercolor (the best watercolor for Artists’) is a rich, warm yellow with all of best qualities of Cadmium Yellow Deep, but better!
 
We have developed our New Cadmium Hue Watercolors to replace our cadmiums with formulas that provide all the density and richness of classic cadmium colors.  Our hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but cleaner in mixtures and stronger in tints, a little goes a long way.  Our Cadmium Hues working properties (staining power, semi-transparency and excellent light fastness) are also nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors we previously offered.

Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue is labeled on the tube as a mix of two pigments, but because of a process called “co-precipitation“, the two pigments are essentially melded together and the result acts as a single pigment.  In this case, it is not true that 1 + 1 = 2, but rather 1 +1 = 1. This is a reason why our Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue is brighter than a mix of multiple pigments would usually be.
 
On our DANIEL SMITH Color Map, you can see how our Cad Yellow Deep Hue (#180) is further out on the peripheral than Cad Yellow Deep (#37) which means it is brighter (higher chroma) more vibrant… better!
 
Our Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue has an excellent lightfast rating, is a semi-transparent, and non-staining, non-granulating watercolor.
 
  • ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent
  • Transparency: Semi-transparent
  • Staining: non-staining
  • Granulating: No
