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.
