WINSOR & NEWTON Professional Watercolour - 14mL - 744 Yellow Ochre (PY43)

Yellow Ochre is a warm yellow colour. Originally made from natural iron oxides found in earth, it is one of the oldest pigments used by mankind. A synthetic version became available in the 1920s.

It is one of the most enduring and versatile colours in the artist’s palette, valued for its warm, earthy character and exceptional mixing qualities. Part of the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range, it produces soft, natural washes that evoke sunlit landscapes, weathered stone, autumn fields and warm skin tones. Its muted golden appearance provides a welcome contrast to brighter yellows, bringing balance and realism to a wide variety of subjects.

Known for its excellent transparency and dependable handling, Yellow Ochre mixes beautifully with blues, reds and earth colours to create a broad range of natural greens, browns and neutral tones. It is particularly useful for landscape painting, urban sketching and portraiture, where its understated warmth helps create convincing, harmonious colour relationships. A true staple colour, Yellow Ochre offers timeless versatility and a natural elegance that has made it a favourite of artists for centuries.
