About this product range
  • Luminous, professional quality colors at a standout value
  • Hand-ground pigments in safflower and linseed oils
  • Powerful tint strength and excellent lightfastness
  • Rich and responsive for suave brushwork
  • Strong single-pigment range for clean color mixing

Blick Artists’ Oil Colors deliver all the performance of the leading professional brands—at a fraction of the price. Loaded with premium, hand-ground pigments and suspended in pure, first-press safflower or linseed oil, colors are individually ground on a traditional three-roll mill for powerful color strength, responsive handling, and superior lightfastness.

Most colors use safflower oil for non-yellowing permanence, while select pigments—such as Cerulean Blue—are suspended in poppy oil for a slower drying time. Deeper values like Ivory Black and Sepia are made with traditional linseed oil for added richness and durability.

Thirty of the 60 colors are single-pigment formulations, giving artists unmatched purity and precision in color mixing. Whether you're building a professional palette, refining your technique, or seeking premium quality without the premium markup, Blick Artists’ Oils deliver studio-trusted performance at unbeatable value.

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.
