Diarylide Yellow Artist Acrylic Paint

Diarylide Yellow burns bright on the heat index, with a yellow-orange appearance that's hard to miss. It's like bottling up the essence of the golden hour and injecting it onto your canvas.

This color is your go-to for capturing the essence of sunlight and injecting luminosity into your artwork. Whether you're painting fall-inspired Aspen leaves, flittering in the Rockies, or Marigolds from memory in the garden of your childhood home, this pigment shines on.

This artist's paint takes the cake regarding warmth and color intensity in our collection of yellows. It's similar to India yellow but with more opacity and higher chroma that turns the color temperature to broil. India Yellow is more suited for earthy tones, while Diarylide is more saturated. Compared to Hansa Yellow, they share similar same opacity and clean color mixing abilities, with Hansa having a more familiar pure yellow color.

Made up of yellow azo compounds, it's a solid pigment that won't fade over time, and we like it for its flexibility in brightening up reds. It has high tinting strength, so you only need a small amount to achieve intense and saturated color. In a nutshell, Diarylide Yellow is a versatile and vibrant yellow pigment that adds warmth and brightness to your compositions.
