Series 3

Cadmium Yellow is one of the most iconic pigments in art history, known for its intense, warm yellow hue, excellent opacity, and unbeatable lightfastness. Since its introduction in the mid-19th century, it has been a staple for artists seeking a vibrant, permanent yellow.

When cadmium pigments were first introduced, they revolutionized artists' palettes as there were hardly any stable pigments in the yellow-to-red range. Cadmium colors eventually replaced toxic compounds like mercury(II) sulfide (the original vermilion) with greatly improved lightfastness.
