Winsor Green (Yellow Shade)

Winsor Green (Yellow Shade) (one of the Essential Range of the 10 most useful paints)

Pigment number: PG36 

Winsor Green (Yellow Shade) is a brilliant transparent green pigment with a yellow undertone. It's a really vivid, artificial looking green but it's sometimes useful in small doses for the leaves of tropical flowers - usually mixed in with other greens. Viridian is a similar green so if you've got that, you can probably get away with using that one instead.
