Mars Yellow CMY

Mars Yellow is a high-quality synthetic iron oxide pigment developed during the nineteenth century to provide a durable and consistent alternative to naturally occurring yellow earths. Renowned for its warm golden hue and exceptional permanence, it quickly became an important component of decorative paints and artists' colours. Its mineral composition and outstanding stability have ensured its continued use in architectural finishes where longevity and colour consistency are paramount.

Highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Mars Yellow has been widely employed in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its warm, earthy character makes it particularly suitable for creating soft creams, stone colours and muted yellows, while blending readily with siennas, umbers and ochres to produce authentic and harmonious period colour palettes 

Rose of Jericho supplies high-quality Mars Yellow pigment for use in traditional decorative finishes and conservation projects. Combining outstanding durability with the timeless character of mineral pigments, Mars Yellow is an ideal choice for the restoration and decoration of historic buildings and the creation of elegant, enduring colour schemes.
