Aureolin Yellow

An excellent pigment in every respect. It is a double nitrate of potassium and cobalt. It is not acted upon by lime or by potash; it is, therefore, a good pigment for fresco and silicious painting. It may be used with safety in oil and in water. Sulphuretted hydrogen does not affect it, and it is permanent when submitted to the severest tests. It is not affected by admixture with other colors.
