An example to illustrate this distinction: Gamboge (NY24) is an outdated, fugitive pigment that is used by only one manufacturer, Winsor and Newton, in their paint "Gamboge Genuine." All other paints given names including the word "gamboge" (of which there are many) are made with pigments other than gamboge.
It is pure yellow in midtones and highlights and runs a bit to orange in shadows; this quality is characteristic of gamboges and other pigments used as gamboge substitutes, such as PY153 and PY108 as well as PY110.
Graham used to market it as "Gamboge" but their "Gamboge" is now made of a mix of two other pigments and they no longer sell the PY110.

 handprint : natural organic pigments
• dull yellow natural gamboge (NY24), a moderately saturated middle yellow pigment made from the gum of the several species of garcinia tree, in particular Garcinia hanburyi, native throughout southeast Asia but cultivated primarily in Cambodia and India.
The gum is collected by cutting grooves in the bark of the tree; the exuded sap dries into dark brown clumps which are ground into powder and treated with solvent to extract the pigment resin.
Despite the inadequate lightfastness and typically dull color appearance of these outmoded historical pigments, the names rose madder, brown madder, carmine, indian yellow, gamboge, sap green, indigo, van dyke brown and sepia are still frequently used as marketing monnikers for watercolors made with completely unrelated and typically much more lightfast synthetic organic pigments.
