About this product range
• Professional quality • Pure pigments, gum arabic, and honey • No artificial humectants or preservatives • Strong, true colors • Made in the USA M. Graham Artists’ Watercolor Tubes are made with thoughtfully selected pigments and Northwest blackberry honey, a nod to early artists who sourced their materials from nature. Custom-milled to preserve the unique qualities of each pigment, the honey’s viscosity enhances color strength and ensures easy dilution, yielding fluid, uniform washes. It also prevents colors from hardening on the palette and in the tube.

- Properties
- Cadmium Yellow is brilliant, dense, and opaque, with good tinting strength and very high hiding power. It is the artist's principal bright yellow and is available in light, medium, and dark shades. The deeper shades appear deep orange and have the greatest tinting strength. It is slow-drying in oil form and is used in both oil and watercolor form. A clean Cadmium Orange is created when Cadmium Yellow is mixed with Cadmium Red. Hues vary by brand. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfastness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic. Cadmium Yellow is usually available in a pure grade, or in a cadmium-barium mix. This mix has the same permanence with a lower tinting strength.
- Permanence
- Cadmium Yellow is lightfast and permanent in most forms, but like most cadmium colors, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. The deeper shades are the most permanent. The pale varieties have been known to fade with exposure to sunlight in conditions where moisture is able to penetrate the binder.
- Description
- Aurora Yellow, Cadmium Primrose Yellow, Cadmium Zinc Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Primrose Yellow. Deep Cadmium Yellow is sometimes called Orient Yellow.
