Characteristics

As the other common yellow inks—Sunflower Light Lime Flat Gold Bright Olive Green Sunflower—are very far from Yellow in hue, it operates in a unique place as far as color mixing goes (and can expand the gamut of most ink palettes).

However, straight Yellow on its own is often too light to be read clearly (unless at very large sizes). Whereas most of the other inks above can be be used as legible spot colors.

Citron and Fluorescent Yellow are rarer yellow alternatives.

Combinations

Yellow and Black combine to make dull olive greens.
Yellow and Fluorescent Pink combine to make bright, rich oranges (warmer than Fluorescent Orange).

Mixtures

Yellow can be mixed with a small amount of a complimentary purple (such as Purple Orchid Violet) to create a darker yellow, without shifting the hue too warm/cool.

Usage
