The name traditionally means lead antimonate (PY41); this tube uses other pigments. The name promises lead antimonate (PY41).

Genuine Naples yellow is lead antimonate: toxic, opaque and warm. Hues mix white with yellows and earths and are safe to handle.

Compared with Genuine Naples Yellow Light (Michael Harding):

  • Lightfastness: very good for this hue, excellent for the genuine.
  • Safety: this hue has no lead; the genuine does.
