Yellow Ochre is a natural earth pigment consisting of clay, silica, and iron oxide, specifically hydrated iron oxide (limonite). Yellow ochre gets its characteristic yellow hue from limonite, which is a mix of minerals like goethite, akaganeite, lepidocrocite, and jarosite. The production process involves washing the raw material to remove sand and impurities, after which the residue is dried and finely ground into a pigment. This natural pigment blends well with other colors and is commonly mixed with other paints for a variety of artistic and industrial applications.
