Naples Yellow is an opaque pinkish-yellow pigment. Originally a lead antimonite pigment, it can be found in Babylon tiles dating 5th c BC. Its name comes from natural deposits found in Mount Vesuvius, Naples. Used by the Old Masters, it has been made artificially since the 15th c.

Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic is a high-quality acrylic paint that delivers professional results. It’s ideal for artists who want a high quality yet accessible range.

The Galeria Acrylic range offers excellent brilliance, professional quality pigments, opacity and permanence with a smooth, satin finish. Galeria uses either the same pigments as the professional range or a similar pigment, but in a lower concentration. This makes it easy to use with (or to transition to) artists’ grade when a wider choice and higher pigment strength is needed.
