It yields shades ranging from bright scarlet to deep crimson, depending on the composition. Known for its unmatched brilliance, opacity, and permanence, Cadmium Red is one of the most important and enduring modern reds in the artist\u003cspan\u003e'\u003c\/span\u003es palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt offers strong tinting strength, smooth handling, and excellent covering power.

While Cadmium Yellow appeared first, Cadmium Red followed shortly thereafter, offering artists a permanent alternative to the fugitive organic reds (such as cochineal lakes, carmine, and madder lakes) and the unstable Vermilion substitutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the early 20th century, Cadmium Red had become a staple for avant-garde painters, including the Fauves and Expressionists. Henri Matisse and other modernists used it extensively for its vivid, pure intensity. Its reliability and brilliance made it equally indispensable in academic palettes and industrial applications. In the pictured atwork \"Scream by Edvard Munch, Cadmium Red, Orange, and Yellow are used throughout the sky to create the intense, overwhelming atmosphere of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven today, Cadmium Red remains one of the most widely respected pigments in fine art for its archival stability and unsurpassed depth of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePigment Information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePigment Type: Synthetic Inorganic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChemical Composition: Cadmium Sulfoselenide \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable Mediums: Watercolor, Oil, Tempera, Acrylic, Encaustic, Cold Wax, Casein, Milk, Swedish Flour, Lime \/ Fresco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLightfastness: Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpacity: Opaque\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Names: Cadmium Scarlet (lighter), Cadmium Crimson (darker)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColor Index Code: PR108\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePictured Artwork: \"Scream by Edvard Munch from the National Gallery of Norway\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morrow Archival","offers":[{"title":"2 Grams","offer_id":47875255435486,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0002g","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Grams","offer_id":47875255468254,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0010g","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 Grams","offer_id":47875255501022,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0020g","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Grams","offer_id":47875255533790,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0050g","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams","offer_id":47875255566558,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0100g","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams","offer_id":47875255599326,"sku":"PS-637-0000-0500g","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2821\/2702\/files\/9647c68f-28b3-4360-a5d9-bd474d8cd046-copy.jpg?v=1769982692","url":"https:\/\/morrowarchival.com\/products\/cadmium-red-pigment-425137641","provider":"Morrow Archival","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
