Annie Sloan explains English Yellow as: "This clean yellow was particularly popular in English 18th Century decoration inspired by hand painted Chinese wallpaper and the development of Chrome Yellow pigment. It was the first non earthy yellow and at first would be very expensive. In the 1950s this yellow became popular as a strong primrose. It can be mixed with Antibes Green to make lime green."

Those of you who like to custom mix colors - know we needed this color! With this new bright yellow, you can now make true brown colors. Mix Primer Red and English Yellow to get a nice brown. I show an example below with a little Graphite added. Our Virtual Color Mixer here on our website is a great tool to experiment with when creating custom colors.
