Paul,

It is not just ANY Naples yellow, but a GENUINE Naples Yellow light, made by your fellow Brit, Micheal Harding.

It is a clear lovely lemony thing, quite unlike the ersatz Naples Yellow made by other companies which usually are a mix of some kind of white paint and cadmium yellow.

It is really quite perfect and does not overheat the skin-tones.

I believe Sargent used it but it was called Tin Yellow. Orpen used it under that moniker as well.
