Yellow ochre

Yellow ochre is a natural pigment made from clay that contains iron oxide, giving it a warm, earthy yellow hue. It has been used in art and decoration for thousands of years due to its stability and rich color. When ground into a fine powder and mixed with a binder like oil or water, it produces vibrant, long-lasting yellow tones in paintings and dyes. Its popularity stems from its durability and historical significance across many cultures. Yellow ochre is valued both for its aesthetic qualities and its ability to withstand aging without fading.
