- In today's video we'll be taking a look at and comparing my Azo Green Yellow PY129 paints.
PY129 is a pigment that I have a love/hate relationship with. I hate the color itself but love the greens I can mix with it.
I hope you enjoy the comparison videos 🙏

I only bought my first Azo Yellow Green based on seeing Steve Mitchell use it, but love ugly yellow greens. I call this color ‘baby poop green.’ When I was doing graphic design, this was one of my favorite colors for page design because it coordinated so well with so many other colors. Now I love it for foliage and mixing.
Haha! Baby poop green sounds like a good name for it 🤣
Ha! I call it that in my head too ✨👊🏼✨
I love this color for neutralizing reds. And it's a key component in mixing skin tones for me. Py129 mixes great greens, browns, peachy corals... I love it! I have White Nights and the Da Vinci versions.
I have both Py150 and 129 in my palette. Py150 is more of a pure, earthy yellow so I use it as a main mixing yellow. Py129 I kinda use in place of a traditional lemon yellow since it has that green bias.
It's interesting to hear how different people mix skin tones. Skin tones are completely new to me as I've never painted portraits.
Oh great to hear that you have both. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Thank you 🙏 this is nice tip !! I heard some artist use this 2 colors as a warm tone(PY150) and a cool tone (PY129)
oooooo for neutralizing reds? i'm going to try that. i've had this color a while and never knew quite what to do with it. it's too intense to use on it's own for landscapes.
Is it for more purple/violet reds?
I like this color with quinacridone coral or similar colors for paler skin tones.
It’s also one of my favorites for playing with greens.
I have the Van Gogh version, it's an unusual paint. I tend to add it to greens when creating different hues in foliage, trees or grasses in a landscape.
I love the mix you did with Cobalt Blue, I'll have to try that.
I always enjoy your videos. Very informative!
Thank you 🙏
I love your mixes, that’s what makes it so great.😊
Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for showing the mixes! These are great. I need to play around with PY129 more!
That said, I couldn't live without PY150 which is by far my favorite yellow. I love how it transforms from a warm yellow in the mass tone to a cooler yellow when diluted - and it can really glow.
You're very welcome 🙏
Hola; aunque el py129 hace algunos verdes muy buenos como por ejemplo el pb60 indantrona, el pb29 ultramar, el pg18 viridian, el pg50 turquesa de cobalto azul y especialmente el pb27 azul de Prusia, los mejores resultados desde mi punto de vista los consigue con los rojos.
Seguramente porque el tono verde del py129 desatura los rojos, y de esa forma se consiguen unos naranjas muy bonitos.
Por ejemplo con el pr255 bermellón se consigue un naranja cuero muy bonito. Con el pr122 un ambar anaranjado de botella de cerveza. Con el violeta de quinacridona pv19 un marrón claro y con el pr 209 y pr 206 unos naranjas asalmonados de estuco veneciano.
Saludos y gracias.
Interesantes mezclas para probar,
It really does mix like a yellow!!! Surprisingly high tinting strength.
I have both nickel azo yellow (PY150 daniel smith) and rich green gold (PY129 daniel smith) on my palette. My eyes see that PY150 mixes a much brighter green than the PY129. I love the way they both push other pigments around when dropped in too.
I actually love this pigment on its own too as it reminds me of pure olive oil... I'm asking myself the same thing regarding PY150, which I adore as well and is my main mixing yellow. It would be nice and helpful to see a follow up video update on your experimentations and your conclusion
I'm a minority in this I'm sure but I'm not a fan of Azo green for the same reason I don't reach for Quin gold... the major hue shift from masstone to dilution. I find it frustrating, like trying to paint with multiple colors on the brush at the same time. Also M Graham isn't really that expensive for a high quality artist grade paint, the problem is it only comes in 15ml tubes. If you do the math it's actually one of the lower priced per ML, at least in it's native USA market (geography matters when buying, it's always cheaper to buy local to you). It's not a favorite of mine, I don't have the drying problems other have experienced but I find it very heavy to work with and on the opaque side, also the colors are almost too vibrant when used in a brand specific palette.. again personal preference but my 12 well MG Christmas present to myself a couple of years ago is one of my biggest buying regrets. Should have bought a trio first and given it a good try instead of getting caught up in the hype. If someone likes super bright, high chroma colors and struggles to get enough pigment out of their colors it's the brand for you. It's also an extremely efficient paint, you get a ton of pigment with very little of it, and it barely shrinks at all when dry. White Nights is perfectly fine paint but watch the lightfastness, they struggle with fugitive pigments and the ratings on the labels are not accurate in all cases.. know your pigments and buy selectively and you can do a fine working palette.
I find M. Graham's strength as a brand is that they always have the highest pigmentation, so they are great for colors that have low tinting strength, like Viridian and Cobalt Violet. But yeah, their paints have a ton of personality and almost always granulate less than I'd like. Plus I don't love the sticky feeling on my brush or the way it sticks my sketchbook pages together :)
I have both the White Nights and the M. Graham and they behave very differently when I mix them with other colors. The M. Graham one blends easier with my other paints, and has a much higher tinting strength and is brighter. The White Nights one makes paler and more muted washes, and also has a tendency to look granulating/textured in mixes. It's _very_ apparent with some of my paints, like the M. Graham Quin. Rose for example. It's also shinier in masstone, my pet peeve. 🙈
My favourite one is from QoR!
That's interesting to hear. Thanks for the information. 🙏
wow this is fantastic. now i'm gonna go do some tests between my WN and white nights... optically they are fairly similar. i've yet to do mixing comps between colors that look similar or pigments that are the same but diff brands.
My thoughts exactly. I got the Van Gogh half pan to test the pigment but it doesn't seem different enough from py150 to keep both in my permanent palette. Maybe in a mixing palette setup. I do love the mix with Ultramarine though, it reminded me of Aquarius Green from Roman Szmal. I think it makes a nice base for olive greens. I do like to neutralize it quite a bit though, with warm blues and violets
It's definitely nice when mixed with ultramarine ☺️
I use both Py129 M Graham Azo Green and PY150 or Yelliw Lake from Sennelier in my palette.
I have the Daniel smith one, it's a winner.
I have both white nights and M graham's, although not used Mg for painting yet however the White Nights are great quality paints! Thanks for sharing Jay 👍
You're welcome. 🙏 I like the White Nights I've tried so far. Though I didn't like the tube versions so much.
@@JayNathanWatercolor oh really now that's interesting, I've got the pans too
@@JayNathanWatercolor the pans arent as sticky if the tubes really bother you. Like any other brand white nights has some really nice paints and a few not so good paints.
Windsor and Newton has one as well. Very similar I'd say. This color replaces my sap green. I like mixing it with PG 7. It. Could also replace my lemon yellow as it looks so yellow when diluted.
I own a Turner gold green which is a mix of three colors. Because it’s a mixture it comes out very different than the pg129 which I don’t have. Your mixes with the 3 blues are awesome
Thank you ☺️
I saw one lady on Instagram mixing Cobalt Blue PB28 with Green Gold PY129. She did a dispersion test for the mixture and wonderfully the pigments separated with the yellow emerging as a distinct undertone.
Oh that sounds interesting. I wonder if it works with all brands or if it needs to be specific ones?
PY129 😍🥰😘🤩💋🌟💖💘💕❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I love that colour, I’m using the “white nights” It is one of my 12 Color’s in my main palette. And the one yellow I’m using for green’s.
It's definitely a great pigment for mixing greens
green gold by w&n is very similar to m graham (at least visually). i have w&n and just ordered the m graham, i may do a comparison in an upcoming vid in case you’re curious!
wow SO similar!!! (yeah the ones i have don't differ a whole lot, but like... white nights and winsor newton actually look a bit different)
W&N Green Gold PY129 mixed with Perylene green gives nice greens.
Sounds good. I'll have to give it a try 🙂
I have got azo yellow but not the green. Interesting colour.
I have the Daniel Smith Rich Green Gold and tbh I don't like it. It doesn't paint all that smoothly for me. That M Graham though, maybe I'll give that one a try. That mix with ultramarine is gorgeous.
These arent that far off from py150, but add a little blue and youre there. Im not sure if the color name charteuse is used as often these days? This is a great mixer, especially for greens. Ive recently mixed with PB60 for a darker convenience green. I have seen a few artists use py129 with its complimentary color of a dark wine or dark violet. Perlyene violet , napthanmide maroon, claret, bordeaux, etc. TFS . Love the swatches and mixes. 😊😆
I haven't tried it with PB60 but that sounds like a great combination for a dark green. I'll have to give it a go. ☺️
Interesting color. I have seen it being swatched,but I cannot decide if I would want it..I feel like I could mix it with green gold and transparent yellow (py 128)???maybe???
You might be right about that. ☺️
You can mix the color using Py150 and a smidge of PG 8. I think mission gold also has a 3 pigment mix with Pbr25 in it that looks exactly like this.
Whitr Nights had excellent blue colour-Indantrene Blue with PB60 pigment, but sadly they changed the pigment, if you happen to find an old batch of that blue i suggest to test with other blues, it was interesting colour.
Thanks for the information. I'm never sure about PB60. It's a lovely color but, whenever I put it in my palette, I never use it.
@@JayNathanWatercolor yes it has domineering quality during mixing, i usually use in cells histological illustrations or drawing the night sky
M. Graham. Great olive greens….
It’s one of my favorite colors! It looks like pee or other excrement but it’s beautiful! I love it.
I don’t think PY129 and PY150 are the same. PY150 is more yellow and bright while PY129 is more earthy and green. I think they have different uses. I personally think PY129 is more versatile in a landscape palette since you can mix beautiful greens and browns with it.
You might be right about PY129 being more useful in a landscape palette. Especially as it's purpose for me would be mixing greens.
nicker azo yellow look really similar to py129
Pretty similar but PY129 is greener
