Saffron

Saffron Handmade Watercolor – PY42 & PR102 – Transparent – Lightfast

Enjoy a beautiful pan of Saffron, a golden-orange hue with rich warmth and a soft radiance inspired by nature’s most luxurious spice. Crafted from a blend of PY42 and PR102 pigments, this color glows with depth while maintaining a gentle transparency.

Saffron is reminiscent of French ochers and the warm yellow of saffron threads. It mirrors the golden color of autumn leaves, offering a natural amber hue that radiates warmth and conveys a sense of softness and serenity. This hue stays true whether layered in saturated washes or lifted with white — reliable, rich, and comforting.

This pigment is sourced from Ocres de France, a certified Heritage Company. As part of our exclusive French Mineral collection, Saffron represents the soft colors of the French countryside — pigments with a naturally semi-transparent glow that shine best in transparent or semi-transparent bases. Their unique composition is over 90% natural, non-toxic, and responsibly produced for artists and the planet.

Each pan is handcrafted with natural ingredients, mulled to a smooth, creamy consistency, and poured into our metal pans for enhanced durability and elegance.
