Thanks Allan, that's very interesting. The Naples yellow definitely looks a bit more peachy next to the transparent yellow ochre and white.
You mention it's transparency. Forgive my ignorance, but what does this quality give you? Better mixing with other colours or a glaze like effect over other colours perhaps?
I must admit I'm too busy trying to get my colours anywhere near right at the moment to have time to think about qualities like the transparency of the paint! I find this very interesting though, I'm very conscious of how little I know about the materials I work with.
