General Description

Cadmium Red Light is a pigment often used in oil and acrylic paints. Its chemical composition consists of cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide, which gives it a bright and intense red color. It is known for its high opacity and lightfastness, meaning it retains its color and does not fade when exposed to light for extended periods. However, cadmium is a toxic heavy metal and can pose health risks if not handled and disposed of properly. As a result, some artists and manufacturers have begun using alternative red pigments that are less toxic, such as naphthol red or quinacridone red.
