Wikipedia
cadmium yellow
Cadmium pigments are a class of pigments that contain cadmium. Most of the cadmium produced worldwide has been for use in rechargeable nickel–cadmium batteries, which have been replaced by other rechargeable nickel-chemistry cell varieties such as NiMH cells, but about half of the remaining consumption of cadmium, which is approximately 2,000 tonnes (2,200 short tons) annually, is used to produce colored cadmium pigments. The principal pigments are a family of yellow, orange and red cadmium sulfides and sulfoselenides, as well as compounds with other metals.Cadmium is toxic to humans and other animals in very small amounts, especially when it is inhaled, which often happens when working with powdered pigment or breathing the dust from chalk pastels. As a result, it is not appropriate for children to use any art supplies that contain cadmium pigments. However, because the pigments have some desirable qualities, such as resistance to fading, some adult artists continue to use them.

cadmium yellow
Cadmium Yellow is a specific shade of yellow that is achieved by using cadmium pigments. Named after the natural mineral, cadmium sulfide, this color is often used in painting due to its brightness and strong tinting. Depending on the specific formulation and variations, it may range from a light, lemon yellow to a deep, almost orange shade. However, due to its toxicity, some places have restrictions on its use.
