Cadmium Yellow Medium and Deep
Holbein’s Cadmium Yellow Light is a high chroma cadmium yellow. This color has a bit of a different degree of warmth to the hue than some other brands with the same name. While being solidly what we would call yellow, Holbein’s Yellow Light version is more of a middle yellow (a step toward orange makes it more of a middle yellow) than most cadmium yellow lights. This paint is more in the hue region of Munsell 2.5Y. In summary, this paint is closer to what might be named a Cadmium Yellow Medium in most other brands—for reference, it is in the same color grouping as Old Holland’s Cadmium Yellow Medium.
