Nickel Barium Titanium Primrose Priderite
PY157
Alternate Names
Daipyroxide Yellow
Priderite Yellow
Pigment Description
This is a rare pigment that is mostly discontinued. We loved it in Schmincke Mussini's Yellowish Green Ural (pre-2010 formulation). We were sad to see this fascinating pale yellow green go. It does have a toxicity rating of B, so handle with appropriate care.
