Question What about color for a 'yellow' basket?

Hi again. Also need color suggestions for a very light, almost white, basket. Or I could warm it up a bit and make it a yummy yellow. What colors do you use? I have raw sienna, white, cad yellow, napels yellow, raw umber, red iron oxide, black, permanent green deep, and a bunch of craft paints that I don't want to use in my artwork anymore because of the hazy effect it gives the finished piece. The pro colors look much more rich and artsy-fartsy.

I use Windsor and Newton Galleria and Finity.

Thanks

I think that a very pale naples yellow with a touch of red iron oxide would look rather nice.

Give unbleached titanium white, or buff white, as it is called by some makers, is a nice soft yellow, tending toward the warm side. It is indispensible in portraits.
