Cadmium Orange was the first true orange. It is a pure hue with excellent opacity and low toxicity compared to its predecessors. Around 1820, yellow cadmium sulfide was discovered as an impurity in the processing of zinc ores. The name cadmium is derived from cadmia fornacum, a type of furnace used to smelt zinc. In experiments, chemists used hydrogen sulfide to precipitate the yellow colorant from solutions of cadmium salts. By 1880, they further discovered by gradually increasing the amount of selenium, they could produce deeper shades of cadmium orange and all shades of cadmium red. Gamblin Cadmium Colors are in regular chromatic steps from Cadmium Yellow Light through Cadmium Red Deep. Gamblin Artists' Oil Color, Cadmium Orange, achemically pure Cadmium Orange is a medium opaque orange. No health labeling required.
