The Best Yellow
Testing All The Acrylic Colors I could find on Amazon
I want to get back into painting but the one thing that always bothered me with my old acrylic paints is that they never really covered each other well. So I set out to test which is the best yellow you can find on Amazon.
Especially when applying a lighter tone like yellow or white over some darker color, the darker color would always shine through. I thought to myself, if that has to be the case or if there are better, higher quality colors, where that doesn't happen. And then I felt like, well, I can just test it. Amazon has a decent refund policy, why don't I order all the different colors that they have, and then see which one I like best, and then buy a whole set of it. And then I thought, hmmm, maybe this can be useful to other people to. The result of all this testing is this article.
In total I tested 11 different brands of colors, ranging in price from anywhere between 3€ and 20€. And the results of the test surprised me. Namely, there was only a single brand that really worked well. But see for yourself.
Here's the full list of colors that I tested.
