A yellow pigment or dye; a golden-yellow or canary-yellow coloring agent used in art and textiles.
From Latin 'aureus' (golden) plus '-olin' (a suffix used in chemistry and dye-names). The term emphasizes the golden-yellow color of the pigment.
Artists often mix 'aureolin' (also called 'cobalt yellow') to get that perfect sunny, bright yellow—it's more intense and less muddy than regular cadmium yellows!
