Matte Acrylic Paint: Synthetic Organic and Inorganic Pigments
 
 
Cadmium Yellow Lemon
 
Joules & Joules Matte Acrylic Paint – Cadmium Yellow Lemon is a light, cool, and intensely luminous yellow formulated with cadmium yellow pigment (PY35). With a greenish, vibrant character, it offers excellent lightfastness, high opacity, and remarkable tinting strength—ideal for bright highlights, cool-toned compositions, and mixtures that demand saturation and vibrancy without loss of chromatic purity. Its creamy texture and matte finish ensure precise control in layering and excellent uniformity in application.
 
Derived from cadmium compounds, cadmium yellow pigment appeared in the early 19th century and quickly became one of the most valued yellows among artists for its unique stability and brilliance. The Lemon shade, in particular, provides a cooler and more translucent nuance within the cadmium family, making it essential for transitions with greens, blues, and whites in luminous and balanced compositions.
 
Formulated with high-performance acrylic resin, this paint ensures adhesion, durability, and color fidelity even under intense use conditions. It is an indispensable color in the palette of artists seeking intensity, tonal precision, and permanence in their work.
