a nice yellow?

[SilverGems89]

So I am eagerly awaiting my first wage packet from my new job on thursday to do a nice big tuffer's order (just in time to take advantage of the 10% off effetre offer yipeee!) and would really like to add a nice opaque yellow to my stash, the only one i have currently is effetre bright acid yellow and, well, i think it is grotesque! So suggestions please? something not too bright but not too pastel....

Umm I like vetro odd lemon meringue or banana cream but you'd have to order from

Cant make any sensible suggestion on a nice yellow as not yet found one, but if you dont like acid yellow avoid daffodil as its very similar, I have both and never came up with anything nice to use them for

Anyone have any colour combination suggestions to use these yellows?

[Kalorlo]

I like dark yellow and pastel yellow - they're warm, beginning to tend to light orange.

I dunno if Martin still has any Vetro banana cream left - that's a nice less acid yellow.

Definitely Effetre Opaque 418. I cant remember what Tuffnells call it, but it is a lovely rich colour but not too bright. There is Opal Yellow too, but tis pricey xx

I'm not a good one to ask, becuse I actually like acid yellow! but then you know this.
but I do wonder which you have, because lately there is some paler stuff about, which I like, but I wanted the solid bright stuff

418 pastel yellow is not really pastel or yellow, its yummy though, its more of a pale orange

other than turquoise, any suggestions on what this acid yellow plays nice with? (certainly doesnt like ivory!)

Can I recommend one that's a bit different? Effetre Mimosa. It's one of the cool colours and Martin might still have some. There are two shades and the lighter one is a primrose shade. It's sort of translucent. My favourite yellow.

Have you tried etching the acid yellow ...... tis nice!

this ones what I think of as proper acid yellow, and I want some more!
the first pic, the top is this kind, and the bottom is the paler variety, which I also like.

[Enchanted Cobwebs]

Those are really lovely!

[Lush!]

Another vote for 418, although I agree its more orange than yellow - works great with sky blue though, lovely outline effect.

I love Mimosa too, especially over white.

I never get mimosa that bright, Julie. It's probably with the white under. I like the subtlety of it as a yellow.

[Lush!]

I don't think I really gave it much of a go on its own, the colour of the rod put me off!  I bet it would be great etched though ....

[tinker]

I can't get mimosa to do that even over White. It just looks like stringy yellow snot!
