Rublev Colours Pigment Mars Red (Yellow Shade) - 100 g

Mars red is one of the Mars pigments developed during the eighteenth century and manufactured by the aqueous precipitation of iron salts. Mars yellow is the first pigment produced by this process, which is then further roasted to produce the other Mars colours—orange, brown, red, and violet. Unlike other earlier synthetic iron oxides and oxide hydroxides, the Mars colours were pure and very fine-grained while retaining high tinting strength.

Mars red is not considered toxic; however, care should be taken when handling the dry powder pigment to avoid inhaling the dust. All toxicological studies showed no signs of toxicity to humans or the environment.
