Yellow Ochre (Dark) LAPT

Yellow Ochre Dark is a traditional natural earth pigment valued for its deep golden-brown tones and exceptional permanence. Derived from iron oxide-rich mineral deposits, ochre pigments have been employed in decorative painting and architectural finishes for thousands of years, from prehistoric cave paintings to the frescoes of the ancient world and the interiors of later historic buildings. Their subtle warmth and natural character have made them indispensable to craftsmen and artists throughout history.

Renowned for its excellent lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Yellow Ochre Dark has been widely used in limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its rich, earthy hue is particularly suited to creating warm stone colours, muted yellows and complex neutral shades, while blending harmoniously with siennas, umbers and other mineral pigments to produce authentic and enduring period colour palettes.

Rose of Jericho supplies high-quality Yellow Ochre Dark pigment for use in traditional decorative finishes and conservation projects. Its natural mineral composition, outstanding durability and timeless character make it an ideal choice for the restoration and decoration of historic buildings and the creation of elegant, harmonious colour schemes inspired by the finest traditions of decorative painting.
