Yellow Ochre is a natural earth pigment made from clay that contains iron oxide. It has been used for thousands of years in art and decoration due to its warm, earthy tone. The pigment is non-toxic and can be mixed with various binders to create paints, pastels, and other artistic materials. This pigment is often found in regions with rich mineral deposits, such as France and Italy. Yellow Ochre is valued for its lightfastness, meaning it does not fade easily when exposed to light. Artists appreciate its versatility and ability to create a range of shades from soft yellows to deep golds.
