COLUMBUS – Golden Artist Colors is expanding its most popular paint line, the Heavy Body Acrylics. Building on the strength of this category, Golden is adding five new colors: Bismuth Vanadate Yellow, Transparent Brown Iron Oxide, Pyrrole Red Dark, Permanent Maroon, and Chromium Oxide Green Dark. Each color offers unique properties, complementing existing colors already in the family.

Bismuth Vanadate Yellow – This inorganic pigment has the opacity and lightfastness of a cadmium color, without the typical UV/moisture sensitivity, making it ideal for outdoor use.

Transparent Brown Iron Oxide – This color fills a color space between Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber, with a cleaner, redder undertone.

Pyrrole Red Dark – Clean, dark and rich, this beautiful organic red pigment fills a color space between Cadmium Red Dark and Cadmium Red Medium. It is a non-toxic, higher chroma alternative to Cadmium Red Dark that can be used in outdoor murals without the UV/moisture sensitivities of a Cadmium color.
