Gamblin's Naples Yellow Hue is, as far as I am concerned, way off the mark. Not at all like a true Naples Yellow, it's more like Yellow Ochre meets the Mustard Monster.

Yech. I've really tried several times to get excited over Gamblin Products, but when Mr. Gamblin tries something like this, to pawn this grimy yellow color off as true Naples Yellow, and then, to add insult to injury, to tell us what Naples Yellow is (as if we have no color experience or eye), when he says, "... has come to mean a pale opaque earthy yellow color more than a chemical composition. .

It just makes me less than enthused about Gamblin products. Someone should send Mr. Gamblin a tube of Old Holland or Windor & Newton Naples Yellow so that he can see what the color is, and has looked like for hundreds of years.

Best,
Todd
