ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Yellow Ochre is a timeless natural earth colour formulated with Pigment Yellow 42 (PY42). Warm, muted, and beautifully understated, it has been used by artists for centuries to capture the colours of sunlit stone, dry grass, sandy landscapes, weathered buildings, and natural skin tones. Its earthy warmth makes it one of the most dependable and versatile colours in any watercolour palette.
Ideal for landscapes, botanical studies, portraits, architecture, wildlife, and urban sketching, Yellow Ochre provides rich, natural colour straight from the pan. It also mixes beautifully with blues to create soft greens, with reds for warm terracotta shades, and with browns for subtle earth tones that feel harmonious and authentic.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• High-Quality Pigment: Made with premium-quality pigments for strong, consistent colour, smooth application, and reliable coverage in every wash.
• The "Full Pan" Guarantee: We fill these 2.5ml pans in multiple layers. Because watercolour shrinks as it dries, we repeat the process so you get a full, generously filled pan rather than a half-empty one.
• Ready to Paint: You won't be scrubbing at the pan to lift colour. Just hit it with a damp brush and it reactivates instantly, ready for smooth, dependable use every session.
• Classic opaque earth colour: Its opaque nature offers excellent coverage and beautifully balanced washes, making it ideal for landscapes, architectural details, portraits, and natural textures.
• Great for Mixing: Blends effortlessly throughout the Thoovi range to create muted greens, warm neutrals, golden browns, natural flesh tones, and harmonious landscape palettes.
• Travel-Friendly: It's a standard half-pan size, so it drops right into almost any portable palette - ideal for travel, plein air work, or urban sketching.
• Safe & Lasting: Non-toxic and rated very good for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
WHY CHOOSE INDIVIDUAL HALF PANS?
Individual half pans give you complete freedom to personalise your palette. Replace frequently used colours without purchasing an entire set, discover new pigments individually, or build a compact travel palette tailored to your artistic style.
