Cadmium Orange

Description

Cadmium Orange is our exquisitely hand-crafted oil paint made with an extremely concentrated, high-quality single source pigment. Every tube is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled using only pure cold-pressed walnut oil (linseed oil available upon request) and the maximum amount of hand-ground and richly textured pigment.

Cadmium Orange Medium is a rich, warm orange pigment with a bold, buttery tone and exceptional coverage. Made from cadmium sulfide, this inorganic pigment has been a favorite of painters since the 19th century for its brilliance, opacity, and permanence. Positioned perfectly between deep yellow and light red, Cadmium Orange delivers a classic orange hue with just a hint of yellow warmth.

This pigment handles with smooth, creamy consistency, offering strong tinting strength and excellent opacity while remaining lightfast and reliable. It’s a staple for anyone working in traditional, expressive, or high-chroma styles.
