Description from Matisse:
Despite its unassuming appearance, this extraordinary yellow remained hidden in the shadows for over 20 years after its discovery in 1830, languishing on the laboratory shelf until someone finally recognised its potential as an artist's colour. Watercolourists swiftly embraced its charms, discovering a unique secret as soon as water was introduced. The initially dull leathery yellow mass-tone transformed when diluted, unveiling a vibrant under-tone. This distinctive quality of Aureolin adds a layer of complexity, making it almost like two colours in one.
