Sad to say, the colors in that reproduction are very little like the
original, which was much more saturated and acid... how/why it came out so
pastel (they scanned from the original), who knows?.... The sky was,
as I recall (I did several versions, with different yellow or gold skies),
a kind of chrome yellow-orange... I don't think I own a cadmium yellow,
or not any more... Was wondering if I should get one, but from your
description not necessary.

thanks,
