Williamsburg Cadmium Oil Colors
Our cadmiums are more heavily pigmented and more brilliant than other premium paints. They are "chemically pure" (C.P.) It would be hard to find any cadmiums in the world more dense than ours. Because we key our colors to the French palette, they are a step higher in hue than the products of other manufacturers. For example, our Cadmium Yellow Light could be called Cadmium Yellow Pale by some: our Cadmium Yellow Medium might be considered a Cadmium Yellow Light; our Cadmium Deep Yellow might be considered Cadmium Yellow Medium.

Very high-pitched, slightly acidic and greenish. Electric.

Many people consider this a perfect true orange.
 
Cadmium Red Deep

Intense scarlet. Some might call this a Cadmium Orange-Red.
 
Cadmium Red Medium
#607 Cadmium Red Medium
C.P. Cadmium Sulfo-Selenide - PR108
A true medium. Not heading too much into the blue or orange. With cadmiums this is a difficult balance to maintain.
 
Cadmium Red Purple

Cadmium Red Vermilion
#597 Cadmium Red Vermilion

Does not contain mercuric sulfide - instead this is a Cadmium with the intensity and sweetness of Genuine Vermilion. It lays between our Cadmium Red and Cadmium Red Light.
