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. Indian Yellow Hue (S4) 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.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Warm, golden, and transparent — originally made from the urine of mango-fed cows (no, really). The modern version thankfully skips that step but keeps all the luminous warmth. Brilliant for glazing amber and gold tones.

What Makes This Colour Special

Indian Yellow Hue uses a carefully balanced pigment blend (PY175, PY150, PR122). Formulated to hit exactly that hue while keeping every professional working property the range is known for. Pure pigment in 100% acrylic emulsion. Nothing hidden.

Indian Yellow Hue is transparent. Glazing, layering, building luminous depth that glows from within. Think of it like a filter over your previous layers. This is where the real magic happens.

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