Answer

Gamboge is a name for a strong orange yellow color that comes from a natural pigment derived from a species of tree that grows in southeast Asia, mainly Cambodia.

The pigment is extracted from the resin of the tree, which is poisonous and has been used as a medicine and a laxative in the past.

Gamboge is popular in east Asian watercolor works and has been used since the 8th century.

However, it is not very lightfast and can fade over time.
