While this color has not been tested for Lightfastness by ASTM, it is being used to paint the yellow stripe on city streets! Golden yellow, warmest of the Gamblin Hansas. Hansa yellow pigments were first made in Germany just before World War I. They are organic pigments that are semi-transparent and lightfast (Hansa Yellow Light is Lightfastness II, and Hansa Yellow Medium & Deep are Lightfastness I). In their masstones, Hansa Yellows resemble Cadmium Yellows but the similarity ends there. Hansa Yellows make more intense tints and cleaner secondaries, especially when mixed with other organic (modern) colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, Hansa Yellows have great value as glazing colors. Painters can also take advantage of the "temperature" shifts of the Hansas –- from coolest yellow (Hansa Yellow Light) to warm golden yellow (Hansa Yellow Deep). Gamblin Artists' Oil Color, Hansa Yellow Deep Pigment: Arylide yellow (PY 75), Vehicle: Alkali refined linseed oil, Lightfastness II, Series 3, Semi-Transparent
