Matte Acrylic Paint: Synthetic Organic and Inorganic Pigments
 
 
Naples Yellow HUE
 
Joules & Joules Matte Acrylic Paint – Naples Yellow (HUE) is a balanced formulation of Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Red Iron Oxide, and Indian Yellow (PW6 + PY42 + PR101 + PY83), resulting in a pale, warm yellow with an earthy character and gentle luminosity. It is an opaque color with moderate covering and tinting power—ideal for skin tones, warm highlights, and golden atmospheres. Its creamy texture ensures smooth application, allowing for subtle layering and delicate nuances.
 
Historically derived from natural lead antimonate, Naples Yellow originated in Italy during the 17th century and was widely used by masters such as Titian and Vermeer. Celebrated for its creamy brilliance and unusual stability, it remained an essential pigment in classical palettes for centuries until safer compositions replaced it in the 20th century. The contemporary Joules & Joules HUE version preserves the tone and elegance of the original pigment—without the use of heavy metals.
 
With lightfastness rated I (Excellent), fast drying, and a matte finish, Naples Yellow HUE maintains chromatic stability and fidelity even through multiple layers. Formulated with high-performance acrylic resin and stable inorganic and organic pigments, it delivers professional-grade performance and superior durability—indispensable in palettes seeking warmth, subtlety, and visual harmony.
