Linseed oil paint iron oxide yellow

Iron oxide yellow is a pigment that produces yellow and yellowish-brown hues. The pigment is similar to yellow ochre but has a clearer and more intense yellow shade. Iron oxide yellow is mostly used as a tinting color, to transform white paint into light yellow, and is common in interior wall paint and exterior trim paint. It does not lean towards pink or apricot when mixed with white but maintains its neutral yellowness. NOTE! The color reproduction on the screen does not 100% match reality.

Test cans with pre-mixed percentages are available: 1%, 7%, 15%, 30%, 60%.

Gysinge linseed oil paint is manufactured in our own factory from boiled cold-pressed linseed oil and pigment, without the addition of solvents.

The paint is semi-matte and suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors on wood, sheet metal, and iron. It adheres well to both new surfaces and old previously painted surfaces, and works in both dry and humid environments. When newly painted, the color is glossy but will fade to semi-matte after a few weeks, depending on the weather and substrate.

Outdoors, the surface primarily mattifies in south-facing locations where UV radiation breaks down the linseed oil, which can cause the color to lighten slightly, especially on darker shades.

Repainting is only needed after 8–15 years, depending on exposure. Linseed oil paint works equally well on new and old surfaces, and the patina that develops gives a natural and beautiful character.

Usage: Indoors, outdoors.
