Cadmium red is a bright, opaque red used by artists. It's intense and powerful, one of the most vivid reds available in paint.
Made from cadmium sulfide, discovered in the early 1800s. It replaced vermilion as the go-to bright red for artists.
Cadmium red is perfect for art supplies and bold designs. It works well when you need maximum impact. Popular for contemporary art and graphic design.
