My Thoughts
Necessary slot? I think it’s useful to have either Lemon Yellow or Middle Yellow for mixing (as it is a primary color), and of course for painting anything with a bold yellow color. See the Lemon Yellow page for considerations.
Favorites: Hansa Yellow Medium (PY97) has a bold, middle yellow. Imidazolone Yellow (PY154) is very similar.
Mix your own: Lemon Yellow + Orange Yellow
