Cadmium colours
Cadmium colours are known for their high opacity, lightfastness and tinting strength. These unique properties make them loved by many artists around the world and an incredibly useful addition to your colour palette.
Then why would they need alternatives? The properties of cadmiums are more extreme than those of other colours. If you want to mix with cadmiums, you only need a fraction of what you would normally use when mixing. Though this makes these paints quite economical in use, it also requires some knowledge and experience. Cadmiums are quite dominant in mixing, which can make them more difficult to use.
