  • Maximum color intensity

  • Exceptional lightfastness and durability
  • Made in the USA

QoR Modern Watercolors by Golden are a contemporary range designed to deliver unmatched brilliance and depth. Formulated with an exclusive Aquazol binder, these colors maintain vivid, luminous color even after drying and offer a greater pigment load than traditional watercolors. With 95+ lightfast colors, QoR combines the transparency, flow, and layering potential watercolorists love with the intensity and durability of acrylic or oil.

Beyond enhancing color brilliance, the Aquazol binder facilitates smooth transitions and provides excellent resistance to cracking and flaking, offering more flexibility on paper. Each color uses pure, high-quality pigments selected for their exceptional lightfastness, and the entire range (except Ivory Black 505) is vegan, using a synthetic substitute for ox gall.

Made in the USA, QoR is perfect for artists seeking bold color, flexibility, and reliable performance in every brushstroke.

Properties
Yellow Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides. PY43 is made from natural iron oxide.
Permanence
Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are some of the most permanent pigments available.
History
Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It was one of the first pigments to be used by human beings, and evidence of its use has been found at 300,000 year old sites in France and the former Czechoslovakia.
