Hansa yellow

Hansa yellow

Hansa Yellow is a synthetic yellow pigment used in oil and acrylic paints. Hansa yellow pigments are lightfast ASTM II and semitransparent. Hansa yellows were first made in Germany just before the World War I. [http://www.multimediaarts.com/watercolors/colrhist.htm]

Hansa yellow is not a modern synthetic replacement for cadmium yellow. While Cadmium paint is by nature, opaque, Hansa yellow provides a degree of translucence. It makes more intense tints and cleaner secondary colors in mixtures with other synthetic pigments when properly mixed.

Hansa yellow may be both toxic and a carcinogen, just like Cadmium. [http://www.eggtempera.com/health.html]
