very lightfast, opaque
Cadmium pigments are excellently lightfast, opaque and brilliant with high coloring strength, and of the highest purity available.
Cadmium pigments are excellently lightfast, opaque and suitable for most artistic techniques. However, toxic fumes are released when cadmium pigments are burnt, so the use of these pigments for utilitarian and painting purposes, such as colored wall designs, is prohibited. We also do not recommend these pigments for encaustic.
