Look. If you paint with acrylics and you have not tried GOLDEN Heavy Body yet, this is your sign and we are not sorry for the intervention. Benzimidazalone Yellow Medium (S3) is part of the range that put GOLDEN on the map in 1980, and it genuinely keeps getting better. A 59ml tube of thick, richly pigmented acrylic with a buttery, knife-holds-its-peak consistency. The kind of paint that makes your mark-making feel like it actually counts for something.

A warmer, richer yellow than the light — sits between lemon and golden yellow. Outstanding lightfastness means it is an excellent choice anywhere yellow plays a structural role in the composition.

What Makes This Colour Special

Benzimidazalone Yellow Medium is a single-pigment colour (PY154). Single-pigment paints mix cleaner, stay truer, and give you far more predictable results on the palette. No hidden extras, no surprises. Pure pigment in 100% acrylic emulsion.

Benzimidazalone Yellow Medium is semi-transparent. Strong enough to hold its own on the canvas, still open enough to play nicely in glazes. That sweet spot between boldness and flexibility that experienced painters love.

Lightfastness is rated ASTM I — the highest possible. Your work will hold its colour for well over 100 years under normal indoor display conditions.
