History : pigment preparation designed by the Société des Ocres de France in 2015. In the history of defining the color lemon yellow, the battle was tough! Depending on whether we consider the different stages of maturity of the lemon: green-yellow when it is not ripe or orange-yellow when it is too ripe, it is difficult to know! In the end, it was the public's idea of lemon yellow - that is to say, yellow-green - that prevailed.
