Hi Aquanetters,

I recently bought a tube of Daler Rowney that had a mistake on it. It seems
to me that the name Cadmium deep yellow misleaded someone to write OPAQUE on
the tube. In fact, since it is a hue made with two semi-transparent yellows,
it was fairly transparent when I tried it. It is a superb color, very useful
in mixes or alone, almost a primary yellow, paler than Holbein Gamboge Nova.
So I would recommend the use of that Cad Deep hue as basic color for your
palette.
