Diarylide Yellow HR, a synthetic organic lake which replaces the very organic, legendary, but long obsolete euxanthic acid (made by warming the urine of Indian cows fed on mango leaves). The modern organic equivalent matches the beauty of the colour used for centuries in Mughal miniatures, but has greater tint power and reliability. If brushed thinly over hued backgrounds it presents a uniquely vibrant warm mustard yellow.
