Diarylide Yellow is a synthetic organic Lake that replaces uric acid, which was made by warming the urine of Indian cows fed on mango leaves. This modern, organic equivalent matches the beauty of the original colour, used for centuries in Mughal miniatures, but it has greater tint power and reliability. When brushed thinly over hued backgrounds, it presents a vibrant and warm mustard yellow. Please note that our Indian Yellow is not made with animal waste.

Rose Madder is an incredibly beautiful gift from nature. It is a traditional Lake pigment, extracted from the common madder plant Rubia Tinctorum. As early as 1500 BC, this plant was grown in Asia and Egypt for the purpose of dying. The Egyptians are credited with developing several techniques to produce Lake pigments, the best of which came from plants 18 to 28 months old that had been grown in soil rich with lime and chalk. During the 17th century, red coats made for the British army were dyed with a shade of madder! Unless you display it in direct sunshine, it will last for years with little change. A favoured colour of the Old Masters.

Alizarin Crimson is the oldest synthetic, organic lake introduced in 1868, and the only lake of the coal-tar lake range to have survived in use until the present. Before the end of the 19th-century, other Lakes were found too impermanent, and some American authorities frown on Alizarin because its lightfastness (II-III on the ASTM scale) doesn’t match that of more recent organic red pigments. But its clarity and subtly beautiful bluish undertones are unique.
