Xiao,

The reason for  asking about your yellow hue,  is that I was trying to figure out what hue Albert Bierstadt might be using for his yellow glow.  To me it seems his yellow was warm.  Whether or not he was using a cadmium, is hard to say. 

More important is to check which whether you are using a warm or a cold yellow.  If you paint your yellows next to each other you will be able see clearly that the cold yellow recedes or moves back, and your warm yellow advances or come forward. 

Only certain brands like Old Holland for example make Gamboge in oils, Winsor and Newton on the other hand don't make this particular yellow.

Richard Schmid in his book “Alla Prima” recommends that you make colour charts to understand your palette.  I have made some separate colour charts, which I have found very useful.  However, I kept mine smaller than shown in the video,  because it is easier to handle and quicker to finish. 

Here is the link, if you are interested.

In this blog (link follows below), Pat Fiorello shows you which colours she also uses.  She comments on the two yellows she uses.  She says the cadmium yellow light is warmer and richer than the cadmium lemon yellow.  Have a look on the right hand side of the blog to see her other colours..

Hue is another word for color.
Chroma is the intensity, or strength, or purity of a color. Squeezing paint directly from the tube to the palette is 'full chroma'.

Have you checked out Richard’s free lessons, he also explains these terms.

Here is a link for transparent and opaque oil paints.  I just googled this info.  This is for Rembrandt paints, I am not sure what brand you use. Also check your label on the paints, as some brands have this information printed on the back of the tube.
