Hue or substitute.

Labeled as a hue: a substitute mixture for the named color. The name promises lead chromate (chrome green adds Prussian blue).

Chrome colors are lead chromate: toxic, and they darken over time. They're hardly sold as oil paint any more, so a hue is what you'll find; hues are safer and more stable.

No line in the catalog sells the genuine pigment.

What's in the tube: 4 pigments

Bar widths are estimates: makers list pigments roughly in order of amount but don't publish proportions.
