Lemon Yellow Pigment (PY1)
Lemon Yellow is a bright, vibrant yellow pigment manufactured in France, offering a fresh, slightly greenish yellow in transparent binders and a cooler, softer yellow when mixed with white bases. This synthetic azo pigment preparation contains 97% natural-origin ingredients and is suitable for a variety of decorative, mineral, and artistic applications.
With medium colouring strength, Lemon Yellow is ideal for creating lively yellow finishes, delicate washes, and custom colour blends. Its medium UV resistance makes it particularly suitable for interior decorative applications. For exterior use or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, testing is recommended to assess colour stability in the finished formulation.
