WINSOR & NEWTON Professional Watercolour - 14mL - 118 Cadmium Yellow Pale (PY35)

Professional grade watercolour range with a reputation built on optimal pigment dispersion to deliver vibrant and even washes.

Cadmium Yellow Pale is a rich, luminous yellow celebrated for its exceptional opacity, colour strength and unmatched vibrancy. Part of the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range, it produces bold, confident washes that retain their brilliance even when heavily diluted.

Its warm, sunlit character makes it a favourite for capturing bright highlights, golden landscapes, florals and subjects that demand strong colour presence. Unlike many modern organic yellows, Cadmium Yellow Pale offers a distinctive density and covering power that gives paintings a unique sense of substance and light.

Cadmium Yellow Pale is significantly more expensive than many other yellows because it is made using genuine cadmium pigment, which is costly to manufacture and process. Cadmium pigments require specialised production methods, strict environmental controls and careful handling to meet modern safety and quality standards. In addition, the pigment itself delivers characteristics that are difficult to replicate fully with alternatives, including outstanding opacity, colour purity and durability. These factors place Cadmium Yellow Pale in a higher series within the Professional Watercolour range, reflecting both the cost of the raw materials and the performance valued by professional artists.
