Cadmium paint colors were first developed in the early 19th & 20th centuries to give artists more range of color and replace the impermanent (fugitive) yellows, oranges and reds. DANIEL SMITH Cadmium Hues, which began production in 2000, are better and safer than the old Cadmiums – with increased opacity, greater vibrancy (brighter chroma) and none of the potential toxicity. They’re called “hues” because they are made with alternative pigments instead of Cadmium metal compounds. These pigments are manufactured with a process called co-precipitation, which means they are essentially single pigments, even though they’re labeled with what looks like more than one pigment.
