Semi-transparent and granulating, it offers a soft, naturalistic tone useful for muted earth palettes. Commonly used in tile and ceramic industries, it is also appreciated by watercolorists seeking gentle yellows for backgrounds or antique effects. Its intrinsic whiteness and low tinting strength make it a subtle yet stable pigment in mixed media.
