History

Indian Yellow, a pigment used in Mughal miniature painting, was produced from the urine of mango-fed cows — an extraordinary material history hidden behind a simple hue.

Design use

Colour pairings

When it comes to colour harmony, combine this yellow with deep indigo for high-contrast drama, or with dusty sage and off-white for a palette of sunlit calm.
