Hansa Yellow



Hansa Yellow
A bright primary yellow, and a versatile all-around workhorse, Hansa Yellow mixes well with other watercolours, and is the perfect replacement for toxic Cadmium pigments. Hansa Yellow is one of our best-selling colours, working well in landscapes, botanicals, still life compositions, and illustration work.
Artist Notes: Our best-selling yellow, Hansa’s clean, bright hue is enormously useful in mixing a wide range of colours. Combine Hansa Yellow with Cobalt Aquamarine for a variety of bright, tropical greens.
