CfM Oxalis

CfM Oxalis captures the cheery yellow of the California wildflower also known as Woodsorrel, which many locals might remember from childhood as Sourgrass. Here in San Francisco, Oxalis seems to pop up from every available patch of soil in mid-February, and we wanted to celebrate this annual harbinger of spring! 

Oxalis flowers make a wonderful and potent natural yellow dye, and CfM Oxalis was inspired by the flower and also the slightly more orange dye bath. It's a bit more yellow than our Egg Yolk and a bit more orange than our Citron, with that nice touch of milkiness we love– a bright, buttery hue that can lend a delicate accent or bold field of color perfect for florals!

All of our watercolors are non-toxic and handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments, plus natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine and distilled water.

Our custom blended colors don't have a Color Index number as they consist of a unique blend of two or more pigments.
