Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium
Deep Yellow 75ml
Warm, rich, deep yellow: the golden tone for strong sunlight, mustard, and warm-key colour work.

Deep Yellow is the warmest and darkest yellow in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, based on PY83 (Diarylide Yellow). It sits at the orange-leaning end of the yellow spectrum, delivering the rich, saturated golden tone of strong afternoon sunlight, ripe grain, and deep mustard. Where Lemon Yellow and Medium Yellow are brighter and lighter, Deep Yellow has depth and warmth that reads as golden rather than simply yellow. Opaque and full-bodied, it covers in one pass and delivers vivid, warm colour in impasto applications. In the ultra-thick heavy body formula, it holds knife marks and sculptural texture without slumping. Dries to a gloss finish with a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

What Makes This Colour Essential

Deep Yellow is fully opaque. A single thick application covers mid-toned grounds completely, making it efficient for backgrounds, colour fields, and bold impasto passages.

About Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Founded in Australia in 2002, Mont Marte creates high-quality fine art materials for students, hobbyists, and professional artists worldwide. Dimension Acrylic Premium is their flagship heavy body range: an ultra-thick, high-viscosity acrylic formulated for impasto work, palette knife painting, and any technique that demands a paint that holds its shape. With a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating (equivalent to ASTM I), the 48-colour range is built for serious, permanent work. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

How does Deep Yellow differ from Medium Yellow?

Deep Yellow is warmer, darker, and more orange-leaning than Medium Yellow. It reads as golden yellow rather than bright primary yellow. For mixing vivid oranges, Deep Yellow is the better choice. For general-purpose yellow mixing, Medium Yellow gives more balanced results.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Deep Yellow with a palette knife?

Yes. Palette knife application is one of the primary uses for Dimension Acrylic Premium. The ultra-thick formula sits firm on the knife, deposits a clean hard-edged layer on the surface, and holds the shape of each mark as it dries without slumping. Apply straight from the tube for maximum texture and sharp ridges.

Is Deep Yellow suitable for sunlight passages in landscape painting?

Yes. The warm, rich tone of Deep Yellow closely matches strong afternoon and golden-hour sunlight. It is particularly effective for passages of late light on architecture, dry grass, and harvest-season grain.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Deep Yellow take to dry?

Thin applications dry in 20-30 minutes. Heavy impasto builds applied with a palette knife can take 1-2 hours to dry fully. Drying time extends in cold or humid conditions. Do not apply a second thick layer over the first until the lower layer has dried completely to the touch.

What surfaces can I use Dimension Acrylic Deep Yellow on?

Canvas, board, wood, air-dry clay, plaster, cardboard, paper, leather, and most rigid plastics. For best adhesion on non-porous or slick surfaces, apply a coat of gesso or acrylic primer first. Dimension Acrylic Premium is compatible with all Mont Marte acrylic mediums, gels, and impasto pastes.
