Gamboge (/ɡæmˈboʊʒ,-ˈbuːʒ/gam-BOHZH, -BOOZH)[1] is a deep-yellow pigment derived from a species of tree that primarily grows in Cambodia.[2] Popular in east Asian watercolor works, it has been used across a number of media dating back to the 8th century.[2]: 144 Easy to transport and manipulate into a durable watercolor paint, gamboge is notable for its versatility as a pigment in how it has been used in paintings, printing of books, and garment dyes,[3] including the robes of Buddhist monks.[4] Though used in a number of different contexts, Gamboge is known not to react well with citric acid surfaces therefore making it unsuitable for frescos and with white lead.[2]: 147 For its popularity, Gamboge has not been extensively identified in works of art from any time period; the few instances wherein art historians have attempted to identify whether or not the pigment was used in a given work have confirmed its widespread use and its longevity as staple within watercolor painting particularly in eastern art.[5]: 170
