Naples Yellow

#fbe6a0

Naples Yellow takes its name from the historic lead-antimonate pigment, and this version is a soft, warm cream-yellow, light and gently golden. It looks like custard or old ivory piano keys. Spinel Red pairs it with a vivid pink, Grenadine Pink with a warm coral, and Deep Slate Green sets it against a dark, almost black teal for strong contrast. On white it scores just 1.2:1, so it serves as a background where dark text reads at 16.9:1. Consider it for wall paint, tableware, wedding stationery or a gentle page background.
