English term or phrase: lead-tin yellow

I need an accurate translation for this pigment. It was a Lead-Tin oxide, discovered in the 13th and used until 18th Century, but most common from 15th to 17th centuries, a colour used basically by Rembrandt and which is carachteristical of his technique and paintings.
Thanks a lot for all who are able an willing to answer!

Obs. A respeito da nota inserida pela consulente, fica o esclarecimento que, de acordo com as referências acima, o amarelo de Nápoles é um pigmento distinto do amarelo de chumbo e estanho, sendo o primeiro uma espécie de sucessor moderno do segundo. Embora ambos contenham chumbo (Pb) na estrutura química, o amarelo de Nápoles contém também antimônio (Sb) no lugar do estanho (Sn) presente no amarelo de chumbo e estanho.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Esta é a tradução literal. Depois me dei conta que o pigmento atual mais parecido ao lead-tin yellow é o amarelo de nápoles.

Asker: Sim, você tem razão, não são exatamente o mesmo amarelo, mas como atualmente devido a que o "lead-tin yellow" é um pigmento tóxico, a indústria já não fabrica ele. O artista que quiser obter um efeito o mais parecido ao que o lead-tin yellow da numa pintura, deveria usar o amarelo de Nápoles.
