Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Cadmium Green Color 131 - #006B3C
Cadmium pigments are a class of pigments that have cadmium as one of the
chemical components. Most of cadmium produced worldwide is used in the
production of nickel-cadmium batteries, but about half the remaining
consumption, which is about 2,000 tons annually, is used to produce colored
cadmium pigments. The principal pigments are a family of yellow/orange/red
cadmium sulfides and sulfoselenides. Cadmium yellow is cadmium sulfide (CdS);
by adding increasing amounts of selenium, colors ranging from orange to nearly
black (the color of cadmium selenide) can be produced. Cadmium yellow is
sometimes mixed with viridian to give a bright, pale green mixture called
cadmium green.
