Literary analysis:
Literature on artistic pigments has long celebrated aureolin as a luminous, stable yellow that plays a key role in creating vibrant natural scenes. Many authors note its exceptional ability to mix safely with other colors, whether it is combined with blues for a brilliant sea green or with reds and browns to yield delicate, sunlit foliage [1][2][3]. Its durability and permanence are repeatedly extolled, making it an ideal pigment for both glazing and decorative purposes—from capturing the nuanced light of remote hills to enhancing the rich hues of autumn [4][5][6]. In this way, aureolin not only offers a pure, radiant yellow but also serves as a versatile building block in the painter’s palette, favored for its remarkable longevity and compatibility with other colours.
  1. Alone it is adapted to very remote hills or mountains, and with orient yellow or aureolin to distant foliage.
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
  2. With all other colours aureolin mixes safely and readily, forming combinations of the utmost variety and value.
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
  3. With French blue it affords a beautiful sea green; and, mixed with aureolin, gives fine foliage tints.
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
  4. We can give it no higher praise than by saying it equals aureolin in stability, as well as in neither injuring, nor being injured by, other colours.
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
  5. The best example of true yellow in a pigment, tending neither to red nor blue, is furnished by Aureolin , alluded to in the last chapter.
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
  6. Several most valuable colours have lately claimed attention, notably the permanent transparent yellow called Aureolin .
    — from Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists by George Field
