Rublev Colours Pigment Cadmium Orange - 4 oz

Bright cadmium yellows, oranges and reds are major pigments for artists' colours where their permanence and opacity are the accepted standards against which other pigments are judged.

The lightfastness or permanence of cadmium requires protection from a tendency to slowly form carbonate salts with exposure to air. Most paint vehicles accomplish this, but cadmium colors will fade in fresco or mural painting.

WARNING: Exercise care when using dry pigments. Do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid breathing dust. Use a NIOSH-certified dust respirator. Wash hands immediately after use. If the creation of dust is likely, wear protective clothing.
