Gamblin 1980 Oil Colors are crafted with the same commitment to quality as Gamblin’s professional Artist’s Oils—using pure pigments, refined linseed oil, and time-honored processes like milling and hand-labeling. The difference? A more accessible price, achieved without compromising on performance.

Unlike manufacturers that cut costs by adding waxes, gels, or cheap fillers, Gamblin formulates 1980 colors using only three essential ingredients: pure pigment, refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate)—a trusted formula since the origins of oil painting.

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.
