Primary Yellow
by default it is an opaque color pigment.
 

Yellow is at the top of the Real Color Wheel, 'read Red right'.
Yellow is one of the three pigment primary colors.
The color Brown is a dark yellow hue.
Mix either the translucent Burnt Umber,
( or the cheaper and less usefull opaque brown which some companies are now selling )

or a the transparent brown/side yellow pigment with
Ultramarine Blue (opposite) to make a dark neutral.

A neutral dark can be tinted to make a Neutral Gray by
adding the top-tone white or the under-tone's clear medium.
